The rtf says this.

FormCell

A mouse click event in an entry starts text editing in that entry.  A mouse click event outside the Form or a RETURN key event while editing an entry causes the action of the entry to be sent to the target of the entry if there is such an action; otherwise the action of the Form is sent to the target of the Form.

I have a form and one of the formCells connected to a validateField method. I have a number of buttons which are enabled only if the fields are valid.  When I type in the formcell (not pressing return) or click into another cell or even _OUTSIDE_ the form the action is not sent. WHY!!!!!.

When I press return the action is sent as it should be.

Am I missing something here?
