Just like extending any other built-in class, you need to be careful to not override built-in methods that either exist now or may exist in the future; you can very easily burn yourself 6 months down the track this way. It's generally a bad idea, and definitely something to avoid if you are building a class library. You have now been warned that the traffic is dangerous; if you want to go play in it, it's your choice :-) --Wez. The same could be said for using an external Framework or library (except that they'd have the luxury of protecting important methods with "final").I take it parent::method() works with built-in classes?
