Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Label text selection

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

Another problem witht the list/label widgets is the many calls to
setText.  In ListItem, the onmouseout and mousemouse over makes to
different calls to change the font (forecolor, textcolor).  Each one
of these calls, calls setText which sets the html.

Maybe we should pass a boolean to the font change functions, that
decides whether or not to call setText.
