Hi,
This was another amazing job, both of you, I'll add it to every example on
my site with the next release,
and have it called from a link instead of my DynAPIDiagnose.
A few points:
    you probably know dumping the secondary values from the hyperlinks
doesn't work yet.
    Is it possible to get a clickable list of the objects on the page by the
name they were defined by, like this:

    Available objects on this page:
    * MyLayer
            *MyChildLayer

    * SkinWindow1
            *myPushPanel1
                    *myLoadPanel1
    etc.
    oh, and you could add printing, and...

Cheers,
Richard Bennett
