Popup button and DataGrid

[Peter Haworth]

dgMouseDown is a handler provided with the datagrid library, not one you write.  Take a look at the following lesson - it explains it much better than I can!

>> You have to call the datagrid dgMouseDown handler in your mousedown handler.  Assuming your mouseDown handler is in the datagrid script, just call dgMousedown with the button number before you display your popup.  Otherwise, the datagrid doesn;t see the mousedown event until after your mousedown handler sees it.  No need to pass mouseDown either.
