- Hi...I'm having a bit of a problem.
- Here's the thing. I'm presenting the user with a screen of text, and checking
- for mouseclicks over various words. I have (supposedly) implemented a way
- to GROUP words in boldface, if they are contiguous, otherwise just treat each
- boldface word as an object.
-
- What's supposed to happen: The user clicks on a boldface item. The system
- searches a field for that item to retreive link information.
-
- What happens: works pretty well with some single-word sets, strangely with
- others, and mostly not at all with multiple word groups.
-
- What gives? Any suggestions?
-
- BTW - yes, I AM doing something very strange...don't worry, tho...it's funded!
-
