Ok. I didn't realize you can use DOM properties as extenders of Jquery selectors.
Karl, did you see the revised Sandbox code? It works! I'm having a hang-up making it work in my app., though.... I am putting the current version up so you can see I am basically removing the chamberHighlight class from Senate,House,Assembly if you enter any element below them: $(".Senate >*").removeClass ("chamberHighlight"); Well, I enter those lower (inner) elements, but they do not fire. It is as if they are shrouded by the fire on the Senate, House, Assembly elements and cannot be listened to. Here we go again.... Just as the perfect, logical solution is found, it doesn't work.... Why does the same rule as in the sandbox example not work in mine? Firebug shows the <html> tree very well, and if you click an element in the tree, it highlights its space on the screen. They are there, They are just not firing. http://www.sovereignstates.net/StateLegislators/VSLegislators.htm , On Nov 1, 8:18 pm, Karl Swedberg <k...@englishrules.com> wrote: > nodeName is a DOM element property.
