Is anything in your code dependent on your "loading" graphic id, or would a class identifier be sufficient?

That UI.refresh() function is therefore structured like this: ui.refresh:function(Obj){ // 1. compare the 2 objects: current UI and Obj. If changes, update UI if(Obj.section && Obj.section!== UI.section){ queueArray.push('section'); UI.section= Obj.section; } // same for all properties 2. loop through the queueArray and make necessary UI changes for (i = 0; i < queueArray.length; i++) { switch (queueArray[i]) { case 'section': // Animating the strata var $thisLI = $('#' + UI.section); $thisLI.strataToCenter(); $('#leftcol').load(UI.CURRENT_URL); break; case 'item': //do this and that... $('#projectNav').load('thatpage'); break; } } } it may seems like overwork to you guys, but my app is quite big and this structure helps me keep the code well structured. Thanks for taking the time to help me...
