(Replying to Brian H)

When using Javascript to modify/read a z-index, you have to use "zIndex" instead. I'm guessing the other properties you mentioned (pretty much anything with a hyphen or dash in it) would have a similar counterpart. This is so the function can differentiate between something like this:

variable1-variable2+variable3
and
variable-with-dashes

Capiche? ;)

A parent brought one of these into our school for the kids to see. I live in north central Florida. I want to keep him in class and let him turn into a moth. How would I go about doing this? Thanks, Vicky

If people wish to see walking stick insects, go to Honobia, Oklahoma. They are there by the thousands. My son and I were there on a hunting trip, every where we sat in the woods they were all around us on the trees and the grass. Untill this past weekend I never relized that male and female walking sticks looked any different. It was quite fascinanting.

Those are very sick people and I don't think they deserve to even hold or have a paintball marker.

I am 14 years old and I love the sport of paintball and own my own equipment, practice twice a month and compete in tournaments. This is not what paintball was meant for and I can assure you any paintballer would and will be furious once they read this, it's the kind of bad people that give us paintballers and bad name.

Yea, this works fine for me up untill the 190.62 drivers. Then the AA stops working... :(

Otto... yes, your question is very good. I cannot say why I chose to write a custom function to handle that. There may have been some quirk in one of the browsers back then... it's hard to say. I may not have been thinking clearly due to working late or sipping too much wine!

Thanks for the input.

Why not use the built in replace() function?
string.replace(/,/g, "");

I found one of these giant caterpillars September 19 2009 along the edge of the woods in Morrisville Pa (at the Graystone Woods). It was crawling along the ground amid a large stand of Virginia jumpseed nearby to walnut,oak, tulip poplar, beech and hickory trees. The dirt is very dry and loose there and I am guessing it was planning to burrow and go into it's pupae stage (from what I have read so far). It was quite a thrill to see such a thing; my first ever!

Insurance companies are the closest thing to legalized robbery in the states. They force you to get covered or you go to jail? You know what Uncle Sam? Stick a cork in it.

Me and my neighbor saw one and was amazed. She saw it in her flower bed. It happened today in Springfield Mo.

There is nothing sexual about spanking a child's behind when they have been disobedient. It is obvious that someone has abused you or you have some problem with your sexuality. Do you have any children ? If so , how do you punish them? I agree that they should not be spanked for everything they do . I do believe in talking to them first , however, when that does not work it is time for other means of punishment. Do you think that it is a sexual act when a teacher has to paddle a child ?

On 9/18/09 I saw a horned devil walking across the walk way in our back yard. It was about 5" long and much bigger than any caterpillar I had seen. My wife came out with only a towel on when I said "come quick". We have an ash and walnut tree in the yard. It must have been looking for a place to burrow before changing. We live in Philadelphia.

Diana Martowlis said: [ Regarding Hickory Horned Devil ]

We found a huge orange fuzzy moth while on vacation in Wildwood, NJ in July. It was sitting on our balcony, alive, but not moving much. how surprising to know the caterpillar is sooo big. Thank goodness we didn"t stumble across it in it's "devil" phase.
