Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, Jörn. I suppose I'd have stumbled across that solution eventually, but I really wanted to know *why* it wasn't working, which you've now explained.
I had a look in the plugin docs for block() but couldn't see it mentioned. Is it an 'undocumented feature', or have I not looked properly? That's no criticism, btw - I'd like to offer many thanks for your excellent plugins, which have been very useful indeed in my work. Much appreciated :) Cheers Fred On May 28, 1:57 pm, Jörn Zaefferer <joern.zaeffe...@googlemail.com> wrote: > In the quoted example, the block function is passed as the event > handler.
