Okay, for a minute there I thought I was going crazy. I have this substack I'm using where this works just fine, but I tried exactly what you just tried and it didn't work. The difference: my substack is a library that I "put in use". And sure enough, when I did a "start using" on the little temp stack I was testing with, it worked. Kind of a strange thing. I guess I never realized that before because I had been using the substack like that long before I ever put this answer dialog in. And when it worked just fine, I just thought that's how it worked and didn't think about it further. Anyway, that appears to be the workaround for now. Until Eric releases his patch, that is. :-) Not sure if it's much of a workaround or not. Is it worth the extra stack in use just to have links in an answer dialog? For me it works well because that script contains other handlers that are called throughout my program.

Guess it has to be built. But it would be neat to send a message
from the htmltext. The limitation is the dialog mode itself by
definition.



Stephen,

Not quite true.  Well, maybe the message watcher doesn't see it, but
it does work if you put a linkClicked handler in the same script
where you call the answer dialog.  I've got a program that uses this
method and it works perfectly.  The linkClicked handler then calls
revGoURL like normal.


Can you clarify this a bit more, Chris? I tried this in a button:

on mouseUp
  answer "<p>This is <a>a link</a></p>"
end mouseUp

on linkClicked pLink
  put pLink
end linkClicked

and it didn't work... I clicked the link, but the answer dialog remained up
and nothing showed up in the message box.

Any hints?

:-)
