Dear experts,
From a palette i need to divert into a dialgoue and then come back into the palette.
This works fine for the first time i enter the dialogue. The dialogue fails when entered the second time.
A stripped down version of my scripts is following. The palette is to the left, the 'test' dialogue to the right:
- Usage is as follows:
- In the palette active the checkbox and clik the Handle Content button.
- This invokes the 'test' dialogue.
- According to the settings in the script the OK/Return button is hidden.
- Clicking the Cancel button closes this dialogue and we are back in the palette.
- Since the 'test' was cancelled, an alert appears with NO as default.
- Click NO
- The check box is cleared for a new decision
- Now the user 'changes the input (top field)', checks the box and clicks the Handle ... button.
- => Error on line 48: undefined is not an object.
What may be wrong here?
