Hand on Rollover "freezing"

[gregincolumbus]

This is odd behavior.....maybe somebody else has experienced it and can shed some light on the issue.

I have a button which fills the portal row (but does not overlap or touch boundries). I have the roll over function enabled so the cursor changes to a pointer when over the button.

Sometimes, when I click this button it changes color (as buttons do when clicked) but it "hangs" in that state. What is even more interesting is that it becomes a rollover color change instead of a pointer. In other words, the button will change color when it I roll out or over it (much like a rollover button on a webpage).

Any ideas?

It sounds as if you are entering the field behind it. You might lock the field behind it with the Do Not Allow in the layout mode.

Thanks for the tip.....I think I found the problem....the script triggered was for a hierachy type portal help file with nested indents, etc. The freeze occured when I engaged the "open all nested folders" script that called all possible help topics.

I was creating a multi keyed right side relationship call that did not have actual child records. This seemed to make FMP "think" before it triggered the script. Once I removed that right side multi key trigger, the portal works great! I will have to re-think the logic of the open all nested possiblities (probably with a right side loop to make sure the right side multi key reflects actual records and not all possible ones)

Thanks again!

Ooops...I meant to say LEFT side of the multi key

Hi Greg,

I think I experienced the same when the left side of te multikey is a calculation with a global in it.

A longer click works alright, a short click gives the result you describe.

I have no solution for this (other then completely redesigning the potal and it's logic)

Hi Ernst

In my portal, the quick click worked alright but the slow click created the bug. I agree a different logic might help.

Thanks!
