Ahh, you probably won't be in Dublin for OSBarCamp so. While my script answers your immediate question, the point of it was to understand all the elements within it. `use strict` and `warnings`, seems a pain at first but it will do 70% of your debugging When you have something like a confirmation dialog make a routine out of it, because you'll need to do it again. These routines can ultimately be built up into your own modules which take the drudgery out of development The ternary operator is quite useful(`<condition>?true:false;`) But as has been said above, in order to learn you have to make your own mistakes and the satisfaction of solving a puzzle is a great memory enforcement BTW: Arshavin, brilliant or what ;)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
