For me this usually occurs from typos in the field names or not passing a variable properly. But once you have things working I'd really really like for this behavior to go away.Soooo, what I'd like to see is a development *toggle* on this behavior. Let us toggle it on through a preference setting while we construct new pages and let us toggle it off after we have done our troubleshooting. That would be mui cool!Thanks -marty --------------------------------- Marty Schmid -Artwerks- e-mail: marty@artwerks.com --------------------------------- Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
