Thanks for your reply.
I tested it a bit more and it turns out, that I can get the
dataavailable event *with* the memo *if* I open popup window with
incorrect html, without all the <html><head><body> tags, just the html
content. It's a little weird for me.
Anyway I do not want to do that, so I decided to use ajax instead
popup, even if it means breaking our app "standards" (this is a very
old web app, lots of things are done in popups). Of course there is no
problem with custom events fired from ajax loaded content. My problem
disappeared :)
Thanks again,
