You know, I'll bet all those Firefox afficiandos don't actually write HTML. Because getting Javascripting to work properly on Firefox seems to require you to offer up souls to Mozilla. I've spent the past hour wondering why it refuses to actually reference any of the objects on my page by their names. With IE, it works just fine. There aren't any errors, it just won't actually access the object. I can do it via array index but that is a really awful way to do it (makes doing changes nightmarish). I know I've said it before, but I'm really starting to wonder at the value of this browser. It just doesn't behave. Maybe it's trying to help me by inflating my billable hours. If only it didn't also inflate my blood pressure.

Of course, the really irritating part is that it largely seems to be a problem solely of the Firefox build on my laptop, and other computers with Firefox seem to work just fine. Argh!

  Ya know. I'll bet that's what happened to my grimlins. They thought it would be more of a challenge for them to skrew with you and your technomancy powers then it was to skrew with me. Thanks Av! Have fun!

  Yeah, I've discovered that it's an overall problem with the laptop, Firefox just fails to operate first, IE also spontaneously fails, it just takes slightly longer. The trick is to open new instances, but it's a real pain. I wish the blasted gremlins would go back home where they belong.
