Unless Dave is right, Chad,which I don't think he is, the difficulty
is that you get as a name/value pair in the request parameters
[property].x=[some integer] and [property].y=[some integer] so that
the task becomes getting the name which is the "property" in
[property] rather than the value, i.e. [some integer], in the
name/value pair. This problem, however, once you solve it simply
provides lots of benefits which can be transferred to other areas.
Normally the getX() and getY() methods test for null or not null so
that you can then detemine which "property" name was fired. That is
what is done well in the suggested options on
www.michaelmcgrady.com/button. 'Hope this is helpful. If Dave is
right, then I have something else to learn.
