Sadly beforeRenderResponse does not work...

Subject:

- I attempted to set a sessionScope value here, not even set up any UI stuff, and while there are no errors, the sessionScope value is never set.

- If I use beforePageLoad the sessionScope value is set, but it's "too late", in that the timing issue remains.

- Just for giggles and laughs I tried afterRenderResponse, but as expected it had no effect. In fact it had the exact same effect as beforeRenderResponse. I'm thinking both of these are server-side events, but the data binding doesn't grok the link to the configuration document if I set the JS to run server-side. Or maybe I have them backwards. If I set the JS to run with a wakka (#) it finds the data binding but won't update the sessionScope value. If I set the JS to run with a dollar ($) it doesn't find the data binding and I get an exception. I thought a wakka was client side?

- I'll see about setting it on the link, but that's going to require a lot of reworking. The link doesn't have the data it needs to update the bread crumb, so I'll have to vet that to store it with each link, so the link can use it to update the bread crumb. Assuming such is even possible. It's looking like a mess at this point. If it weren't standard to put the bread crumb at the top I'd put it at the bottom and have no worries. (grin)

- Otherwise I'll kludge up a control that doesn't render, it simply manages the data for the links and bread crumb, but sits before everything else. I don't like that, but there it is. Or I could look up how to reference JS across controls. Then I could keep the existing code and have the navigator update the bread crumb directly.

- Hmmm. I'm going to look into that. Seems simplest if the system will let me do it.

Thanks again...
