Cool!

Something that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is the 
Javascript DOM. Being able to "do" some javascript code is once thing. 
But the real power from javascript comes from using it  in the browser 
context and doing stuff like:

browser.window.title = "starting...";
document.forms[1].textarea[3].content = "once upon a time";
(or code similar to that)

That is the javascript Document Object Model. Serious Javascripter 
would be less than enthused if this kind of thing were not available. I 
am wondering if Director has this kind of DOM for working with it's 
timelines?
