question about This

[Brian V Hughes]

Um... That's really strange. There should be no difference in the way 
the #tools script is called, static vs. dynamic, as far as that 
script is concerned. And, in fact, it works just fine for me on a 
quick test I just ran. I don't think I've ever seen a call to "this" 
come back as undefined...
