You're right. The order of the tags in the .htm file defines the order of
the events. So, the stColor events (stColor_onBeforeDisplayEvent and
stColor_OnBeforeHtmlOutputEvent) would execute before any of the actualField
events (actualField_onBeforeDisplayEvent and
actualField_onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent).
If you wanted to use the stColor events to do the processing, you could use
the data field used to populate actualField in the logic for setting the
value of stColor. (Basically, one of the work-arounds that you suggested
would work. For some reason, I didn't read those in the earlier post.
Sorry!)
