Closing a field by clicking a button -OS X

[simplsol at aol.com]

Jacque,
You are certainly keeping "programmer hours" - it's late even out here 
in LA.
I had tried the focus trick and, like you, discovered a lot of things 
"focused on" return the not valid control error (I got it with 
graphics, backgrounds, etc.)
The problem with confining the script to buttons clicked is that it 
makes no provision for menus clicked. Or does it? Menus are buttons in 
Rev. I'll check.
And, again, thank you.
Paul Looney

So I did it a second time and found out you need something like this: 

 on mousedown 
   if the target contains "button" then focus on the target 
 end mousedown  

Because otherwise, clicking on the card gives an error about it not
being a valid control.
