    html textbox event/action limitations

    How come the events (lose focus, gain focus, text change) for an html textbox do not work? The only way I have figured out how to save edits for an html textbox is through creating a button that pulls the value from that textbox from the screen, creates an action result and then updates that field in the table based on the action result. I would like for edits to the textbox to be made when edits are being made so the need to have to click the button in order to save them is not neccessary.....

    Hello Bradley,

       I checked it out and I am not getting the lose focus to work on a textbox that is set as an HTML editor.  I'm not sure why it is not working.  I'll put in a ticket for development to take a look.

        In the end, you do have to explicitly save the information to a field on the table.  When you add a blank textbox object to the screen, it is not attached to any field in the table.  You have to tell the screen where to place the information in the table.  If it isn't specified, the screen doesn't save the value anywhere and it is cleared.
