It might help if I also actually asked a question I guess :) I need the department to people list to be generic, but depending on what tab you are on for the result event to be handled by a function based on the tab you ahve selected.
I am guessing this means using a custom event that is dispatched by the generic result handler and then changing the event handler function by adding a new event listener. However I do not know how to do this eactly, nor do I know what to attack the listeners to with each tab. I have look in the documentation, but if the answer is there, I am just not getting it as I have tried different attacks and only get error messages. So 1, how would I create a custom event to use the dispatchEvent function when the dept2id result handler runs, and what do I need to dispatch the event from. And what should I assign the listener to? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Greg Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok.
