[Laszlo-user] inline method calls in handler not always working

[P T Withington]

Yes, method is just a method name on the class.  In the second case,  
an anonymous method is created, so you would have no way of  
overriding the behavior of the handler in a subclass.  In the first  
case, since you have an explicitly named method, subclasses can  
override the behavior.

See http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps/docs/guide/methods-events- 
attributes.html#d0e14504
