I didn't know IE will return the name instead of the id of an element for getElementById though then again I have settled in to the habit of giving form elements the exact same id and name values to begin with so I suppose this is why I haven't noticed that bug. I posted on his blog a couple times of recently. My understanding of JavaScript may not be as indepth as CSS but it's getting there! Thanks for the post pickle.

I am not sure how much value this is to people who don't write Javascript libraries for a living. I thought an interesting part was about ordering compatibility checks to put the W3C check first so if a non-standard browser become compliant in the future, the code will do the right thing by design. The new selector search methods in the next-gen browsers was interesting too.

I realised it was an hour long... so turned it off. Maybe I'll watch it later.
