perfect! this is getting me closer.. i still have my test failing, but now, i think it's another area that has problems.. looking at this, i SHOULD have been able to write it in just a few seconds.. i have all the pieces.. but looking into it, i just dont understand what is going on line 2.. now that i look at it, and run up the chain in the browser, it's pretty obvious what is going my .. my concern is that i had to figure it out AFTER someone gave me the solution.. am i gonna get better at this, once i monkey with the browser alot more, or am i just being slow on he draw? thanks! -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101
