Hey man, sweet package you have with xootools. I tried the include steps you listed in the install readme and the path does not seem to work? Any ideas here?

Got the lib working fine. How do you grab elements out of the document located inside a newly created tab? I can get the new tab with $(), but all attempts to reach into that tab are null. .getElements() will not grab elements. Any ideas here?

That’s actually a current limitation in xootools. I was working thru this same exact problem in another project and i ended up resorting to the standard getElementsById() functions to access elements in the browser element.
I think it may have something to do with how the browser element sandboxes the code because i had some trouble with getting these methods prototyped into browser elements.
