Hi Krambriw

Thanks v much for your answer, but it doesn't seem to work.

I assumed from what you said that I could do the following:-

```auto
function send_payload(row_value)
        {
        alert(row_value);
        this.scope.send({payload:'do_something'});
        
        }

```

And then call this function from the other, but nothing happens.

Sorry if I haven't quite understood you.

Kind regards

Paul
