Jacqueline, The stack "main" is a lengthy report that the user fills out. I open a modal dialog when I have them type a narrative response (there are many tools and other options that are available to the user when typing a narrative - libraries of pre written texts, custom narratives they can save, and on and on...). I need the user to finish editing this text before doing something else. That's why I am using a modal dialog. This model has been working great for years! However, not I have a user who want to scroll "main" to review previous responses while typing the narrative. Does that makes sense?

Maybe there's a different way around the problem. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
