No. But if you made a similar diagram for the DOM it would be similarly complex. Objects in modern software systems have many interconnections with other objects. Pictures are not good at portraying this. Imagine such a diagram for Jumbo, where every property on every object got its own arrow. Go back to James Clark's simple API. That's a more intuitive representation. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for himself "The calculus and the rich body of mathematical analysis to which it gave rise made modern science possible, but it was the algorithm that made possible the modern world." - from "Advent of the Algorithm" David Berlinski http://www.opengroup.com/mabooks/015/0151003386.shtml
