"this" in the event handler is always the object which executed the event handler whether it gets focus or not.  The event handler can, instead of having the action passed to it as a parameter, simply fetch it from the user-defined property of the appropriate pushbutton.    function push_onClick()       action = this.action               form.result.text = action       ....       return Mervyn.
