errorDialog Message question

[Jerry Daniels]

RIchard,

Thanks for the info. I think I already understood backscripts. I did  
try changing the order of my backscripts. What I can't do is get my  
errorDialog handler to catch a message in my back script without  
removing revBackScript permanently.

I insert my backscript, then remove revBackScript, then insert  
revBackScript again, so that my backscript will come before  
revBackScript in the hierarchy. No dice. Doesn't seem to work. Nada.  
Try it and see.

1. Create a btn with an errorDialog handler
2. Insert its script into back
3. Remove revBackScript from back
4. Insert revBackScript into back
5. Create another button that causes an execution error
6. Click the error-producing button

Does your errorDialog handler get called? Mine doesn't.

I have tried other variations of this as well. Remove revBackScript,  
insert my backscript, and then re-insert revBackScript. Nada as well.

I'm already catching the compiling errors, but thanks for the heads-up.

Best,

Jerry
