If it doesn't work, your best bet would be to assign a reference to your dialog in a global namespace from which you can access it in other code. You could prevent massive pollution by creating an object,</div><div><br></div><div>window.myStuff = {}</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>then where you create the dialog, use window.myStuff.myDialog = new Jx.Dialog( ... );</div><div><br></div><div>and where you want to collapse it, you can do window.myStuff.myDialog.toggleCollapse(); or some such.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div><div><div>On 2011-10-06, at 12:43 PM, pwong wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>sorry Paul, it did not work.
