Thanks Bruno...this is actually very helpful and gives me greater insight.
My only concern now is how to add an EXTRA event to the same acrofield. Thanks to all...and as a side note, I am NOT asking for anyone to write my code thank you very much...I asked a simple question, I thought...it's a FANTASTIC API. On another note, sometimes we workers are held to a certain coding environment (coldfusion) and we are not permitted to change the customer's entire server strategy but work within it. I had no idea that "noAction.put" was a reference to "OnFocus". Thanks for the examples Bruno...your work is very much appreciated.
