artificially causing a field to be left in a script

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Hi, again.


But if you change the contents of a field, and then leave the card, closeField is sent.


I made a field, and put this into its script:


on closeField
  put random(99) && the target
end closeField


I typed into the field, and then left the card (via CMD-3). A number appears in the msg box, followed by the field descriptor.


Is this not what you needed?

No; that only applies if the field is exited without change--and I
only care about the case where the field has changed, but the card is
left before leaving the field.

When that happens, I want the closefield behavior for that field to happen.
