Yes, I agree. The way Laura originally put it, with the basic
substitution being from 'someElementName' to '$someElementName', it
didn't seem that this kind of approach would really help - since each
time the function was called you'd have to set the variables with
exactly the paths that she wanted to avoid repeating. With Laura's
clarified requirements, it's a lot clearer that what you suggest is a
big win.

Cheers,

Jeni
