[thelist] javascript newbie need a hand

[Gauthier@PlacidSound]

Thanks alot for this accurate support!

Your solution work quite right, there is many things that I've to
familiarize with, especially methods that return element(s) from the current
element
I'm just discovering the possiblities that a such API (DOM for instance)
allow, that's really amazing!

Can you say me if childNodes requires () or [] ?
Basically I will tempted to say that everything that return a collection
should use [] but I've saw () on MSDN...
if this is non standard, where can I find a such documentation that will
help my learning steps?

thanks for the precision.

Gauthier
