William,
Thanks for that. I wanted to keep the events in the right place in the form and
call it, so I didn’t consider a custom event originally.
Happily, I got it to work eventually like so:
<xf:trigger>
<xf:label>Test-Trigger</xf:label>
<xf:dispatch targetid="remote" name="DOMActivate"
ev:event="DOMActivate" ></xf:dispatch>
</xf:trigger>
<xf:trigger id="remote">
<xf:label>Child-Trigger</xf:label>
<xf:action ev:event="DOMActivate">
<xf:message>It works!</xf:message>
</xf:action>
</xf:trigger>
Rgds,
