The extra code weight outweighs the benefit. Thanks for reading!

I think its working now. Thanks for the tip, Zach Hey Tom,

Seems your blog changes your code examples av bit. :( The fix was (of course) to change it to (for (i=0;i<a.length;i=i+1)). Seems your blog changes your code examples av bit. :(

I think your point about namespacing is well-taken, but the YAHOO.namespace() function is non-destructive. If you were already using YAHOO.tool, then YAHOO.namespace() won't overwrite the existing one so all of your functionality will be safe. By the way, where's your contact information? I'd like to have an offline conversation sometime. Stop by my site and drop me a line when you have a second. I’m glad you’re enjoying using YUITest.
