Problem with FocusIn

[Claus Dreischer]

Hi,

on a side note:
It's nice that some people are trying to improve the documentation 
(wiki, etc.),
but on the other hand, there are people (me) who even can't read the 
existing documentaion =:-/

The solution to my problem is the closeField message, which is only 
sent when the content *has* changed.

Thanks Stephen!

Regards,
	Claus.
