Sorry, still not getting it. If I change the contents of a field, it matters not what I do next: click a button or the card, navigate to another card via any means open to me, focus on another field, whatever, the "closeField" message is sent.
What are you doing, exactly, after the text of the field is changed?

There are nav buttons. Each datum contains a couple of dozen fields. If any change (flag set on exitfield), the datum is dumped to the database. > I thought your issue was leaving a field without changing its contents, which would >indicate the use of "exitField", whereas "closeField" is sent only when the field >contents have changed. If someone selects a single field and changes the value, and then clicks for the next datum, neither closeField nor exitFIeld are called. I need to have closefield called if the data has changed, thus the wish to send a tab to the field. -- Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
