[Laszlo-dev] clues for an app that only breaks in dhtml with debug=false

[Benjamin Shine]

Making progress -- ye old data loader!

The whole thing works in dhtml if I specify my dataset inline:
<dataset name="navdata">
    <menu>....</menu>
</dataset>

but not if I first specify an empty dataset
<dataset name="navdata" />

and then fill it in with
navdata.setSrc("myfile.xml");
navdata.doRequest();

Hmmm. Ring any bells?

PS: there was one warning in debug mode, which I tracked down and  
eliminated the issue causing it.
