Passing Click from Image to Field?

[Chipp Walters]

Interesting,

I was thinking just today about doing the same thing as a sort of 
'workaround' for adding "..." at the end of each line larger than the 
width of the field. IOW, have each line 'disolve' to white at the right 
border.

Scott, I can't think of another way to do what you're doing other than 
the way you're doing it. Passing events hasn't worked for me before on 
this kind of problem.

best,

Chipp
