Staying on a field

[Bill Vlahos]

OK. I've got it working. Thanks to Ken Ray for assisting me.

The problem was that the mouseUp message to go to a different card happened before the closeField (it actually triggered it). I also removed the exit closeField which now gives the answer box before it actually goes to the new card. It still goes to the new card but the selectMe handler will get it back to where it needs to go. I needed the "wait for messages" statement so that it could finish the openCard handlers in the new card to finish before going back to the Induction card.

on closeField
   if vDate is a date then
   else
      answer error "Not a valid date. Retry?" with "No" or "Yes"
      if it is "Yes" then send "selectMe" to me in 0 seconds
   end if
   pass closeField
end closeField

on selectMe
   wait for messages
   go to card "Induction"
   select the text of me
end selectMe
