Scriptlets within tabular bound data island

I would like to have a DHTML scriptlet within a tabular bound XML data
island. For certain events, I'll need to read some values of the scriptlet
and process them. As the tabular binding will multiply my OBJECT tag, I
can't use the ID to access the scriptlet (ID would be non-unique!).

Is there a work-around to find out which scriptlet (i.e. which row) actually
fired the event?

Which the code below, the onscriptletevent is fired, but I can't tell from
which row!

Thanks a lot
Simon

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" FOR="myScr" EVENT="onscriptletevent(name,
eventData)" >
alert("The event that occurred in the scriptlet was " + name);
</SCRIPT>
[...]

<XML ID="dsoBookList" SRC="booklist.xml"></XML>

<TABLE ID="bookListTable" DATASRC="#dsoBookList" DATAPAGESIZE="10">
[...]
<TD><OBJECT id="myScr" TYPE="text/x-scriptlet" DATA="myscriptlet.html"
WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=200></OBJECT></TD>
[...]
</TABLE>

I don't understand why you need multiple copies of the object? What is it doing?

Example:

<Dossier>
<CreationType>0</CreationType>
<CreationDate>2005-01-04</CreationDate>
</Dossier>
<Dossier>
<CreationType>3</CreationType>
<CreationDate>2004-12-18</CreationDate>
</Dossier>
etc.

This XML is bound as an XML data island in my IE browser. However, for each
date (per dossier) I want to be able to display a MS forms calendar control.
I embedded the control (incl. button/image etc.) into a scriptlet. Now, this
scriptlet is displayed per XML row, i.e. multiple times simply because i'm
using tabular data binding.

hope this clarifies the issue, thanks a lot
