(why mr-google says doesn't know xmlson?) Anyway, assuming it's hypothetical, it's actually useless code. Because most businesses wouldn't get a java programmer to check how many carrots got sold. The business would go broke if all the checkout chicks got replaced with java programmers. BUT.... hypotheticalscript: // -- Ding when the price falls below 2.25 alert( staticClone.sales.carrot._price < 2.25); Would be much more useful. That is generate an alert when there is somebody with a carrot price of less than $2.25. Ok. New Idea? no. Stock exchanges and trading software already do it. But there are so few open-source implementations of it with a wider application in mind. Now question is, would a java programmer get a day or two's work setting up the trigger code for such a thing? I think so. All hypothetical of course... but nice to consider.. Regards David
