Re: Selecting text in single-line entry fields - small UI issue

The focusborder property will outline the currently active field with a color. If you use that, you won't have to set the field's backcolor. If you do want to script the behavior, you can use either the openfield or focusIn message as the trigger. When focus is lost, a focusOut message is sent

Richmond, "import" of the error message relates to the rect (see the wording in the dictionary), so char 1 means the superfluous quote (as Dame jacque says). Whatever you test here, you could use 'from rect of this card' or 'from rect of img "border.png"' if you wish to have a local
