If I may add something to this, the reason why the syntax did not throw an error at compile time is because the compiler does not know whether or not VarHTMLText is a variable that contains the value "field HTMLTextField1" or the name of any object to be precise. If it did then it would be valid syntax. I do this all the time for DataGrids, as I can have datagrids on different cards in different stacks with the same name, eg. "dgCustomers".
So I script
put the long id of group "dgCustomers" into tGridID
Now I can script
put the dgHilitedIndex of tGridID into tIndex
