Identifying the itemOffset

Hello everyone,

I have a field with a one line and ten items that are tab delimited, 
and the textStyle of each item is set to link.  I've written a simple 
field handler that identifies the item offset, so that I can sort 
another field according to that item.  The handler below returns the 
total number of items (always ten) and the item offset of the item 
clicked, so I should get (10 and 1), (10 and 2), ..., (10 and 9), (10 
and 10), depending on what I click on.  The problem is, when I click on 
the tenth item, I get (10 and 7)!  What am I doing wrong.  Any advice 
would be much appreciated.

on mouseUp
   set the itemDelimiter to tab
   get the first line of me
   put "(" & the number of items in it  && "and" && the itemOffset(the 
clickText,it) & ")"
end mouseUp
