Bonnie,
I was hoping you would see my post. You always seems to solve my "issues" <s>.
If mamory serves me correctly I think it wasn't a "red" idea I got from you but rather a very nice "light blue" idea (or maybe it was from Kevin or maybe Kevin got it from you and I got it from Kevin <bg>) If that doesn't make any sense to you well then I totally missed the point LMAO now I am not making any sense to myself.

I will post more of my subclassing issues tomorrow morning (I am in the middle of something else right now and I don't want to loose my train of thoughts). It appears that relatively simple subclassing techniques (that I think are good) do not work the same way in 2.0 as they did (does) in 1.1,

Do you have 2.0 so you can test if I post some code?

Did you look at the tabpage code in the original post? Can your skillled eyes see anything odd?

Later,
Einar
