Hi Kerry
Guess it is all in what the intention is, if it is to pass info in at only
the start then using externalParamValue works like a charm. But if the
desire is to have continuous communication between javascript and the
browser, then you have to pull your hair out (that is if you have any left)
:-)
Sincerely
Mark
