The former has convenience benefits, the latter has application-design-error-detection benefits. Given the past decisions in favor of making the DOM help novice programmers, I lean toward "tell them they made a mistake" rather than "assume they knew what they were asking for." ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research Unless stated otherwise, all opinions are solely those of the author.
