Review 8

1. Is it possible to databank the values to be inserted into a dialog box? If so, how would you do it?

2. Which record would be used if there were two records in the dialog manager with the same caption and text, but different actions?

3. What does the fatal checkbox do in the dialog manager?

4. What would you do to the authentication manager settings if you changed the domain (URL) for your scripts?

5. How would you handle an authentication dialog where you also have to enter the domain name?
