Hi Rob,
On Internet Explorer, you don't need an Xtra - you can call a function myMovieName.evalScript and pass it a string (which you can parse out later). It takes a return value. In Lingo, put 'on evalScript' in a movie handler. To send in the other direction (to IE) you call externalEvent and pass it a string (sorry, no return value there).
Unfortunately this doesn't currently work in Netscape, since they changed their structure in Netscape 6+.
But for Windows IE, you're okay.

Hi All,
I think I'm looking for a strategy on how to notify Lingo from a <form> tag's 'onSubmit()' event.
Background: I'm building HTML forms on the fly with Lingo, and sending them to an Internet Explorer (Tabuleiro's WebXtra) sprite on the stage. Works beautifully.
Then comes the Submit button. I could leave it alone and post the form data, but I'd rather intercept it and process the data locally. I know I can use <form onSubmit="return false;"> to stop the post, but I don't know how to tell Lingo that Submit was clicked.
IOW, how can the Javascript function I assign to onSubmit notify Lingo?
I appreciate any leads--I'm in some new territory on this one.
Thanks, Rob
