Emergency Bind Question!!

[John Paul Campbell]

I'm trying to bind multiple tags in a text widget. I'm doing it like so:

.tx.text tag bind $linkCount <Button-1> {
gotoNewSite $Site
}

This is called repeatedly as linkCount is incremented and Site changes. However,
what happens is that all the tags end up being bound to the last binding
that is done. That is, tags 0 1 2 3 4 5 are all bound to the value of Site when
tag 5 is bound.

If anyone can help me, please email me ASAP as I'm working with a deadline here
at school and no one can answer me.

Thanks in advance.

John

Hi,
This happens, because the command bound to Button-1 is evaluated when it is invoked. At this
time the variable Site have the last value you used.
Try using

.tx.text tag bind $linkCount <Button-1> " gotoNewSite $Site"

instead.

Bye,
Andreas
