WebDB: Popup LOV not working correctly

Thanks Jan,

I downloaded your patches and it provided me with a deeper understanding of what the POPUP problem is. It seems that certain WebDB form objects like Blank, Line, and a few other's when used on a form with a POPUP, do not generate an Element Number when it generates the web page. This causes a Javascript error and the popup does not close and return any result.

Workaround:

If you need to use a blank line in your form, Set the title to &nbsp, Set to TextBox, Set to not mandatory, and set to Do not update.
