Hehe ... well it was a long trip getting this far. First, I had to learn that Mutation Events existed, then understand it, then find an implementation, then I had to find a serious use for it then actually try to use it, then run into problems, then think of ways it could be address. What a mouthful! Actually, I'm kinda new to XML technologies too - having seriously looked into it only this year and DOM wasn't one of the first places I started looking. But there we have it - better late than never. If I wasn't so pressed for time I'd probably take some O/S implementation and add all of the experimental features that I'd like to see. BTW ... I'm looking into cancellable mutation events - they're somewhat more complex than I thought they'd be - but hopefully I'll have something good enough for my personal use. Unfortunately, implementing this sort of thing isn't suppose to be the main part of my project - so it's all adhoc and rushed. If I studied Mutation Events in detail much earlier, I might have made this my project. Serves me right for depend on bleeding edge technology that is yet to mature. Thanks -John
