Hi John, > [snip] > > Does it really make sense to try to focus the event target? If that's what the author wants...yes. It's not uncommon in HTML forms to prevent users from leaving a control if its value is not set appropriately, for example. > What if a > sequence of actions is grouped together and invoked from multiple locations > using dispatch? Sure...but if the listener is on the control, then you'll always ultimately get Event.target set to the control in question, won't you? > It seems an odd thing to see <setfocus/> without any indication of what the > focus is being set to. No different to any other default values, surely? (xf:rebuild, xf:refresh, xf:submit, xf:send, etc.) And a lot less weird looking than using the event() function. :) Regards, Mark -- Mark Birbeck, webBackplane mark.birbeck@webBackplane.com http://webBackplane.com/mark-birbeck webBackplane is a trading name of Backplane Ltd.
