DCT hangs when Saving using FormAPI

Greetings all,
I have am using the demo from Interwoven using formAPI to set my saving location (i.e the user selects some value and based on those values I use the form values to build the filename. ) I am using IE5.5sp2 on Win2k. In the iw.cfg under templating I have the following:
[teamsite_templating]
# use_java_ui=false
# data_root=templatedata
enable_formapi=true
and in my dct i have the following
<script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="shoescript.js"/>
and the shoescript is on the same level as my datacapture.cfg
Environment:
TS5.5.2 no Sp on Win2k
TST5.5.2 no Sp on Win2k

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks,
Jum

Be sure your function returns true.

Here is the copy of the shoescript that I am trying to invoke:

function init()
{
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveValid", onSave);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/Type", "onItemChange", onTypeSelected);

//Modified by item should be readonly.
var modifiedByItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Modified");
if ( modifiedByItem.getValue() == "")
{
modifiedByItem.setVisible(false);
}
modifiedByItem.setReadOnly(true);

//If this DCR is opened for reading, we need to restore the form
//to a consistent state.
if ( IWDCRInfo.getDCRName() != "" )
{
onTypeSelected( IWDatacapture.getItem("/Type") );
}
}

function onSave()
{
setModifiedBy();
return handleNameDCR();
}

function setModifiedBy()
{
var item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Modified");
item.setValue(IWDatacapture.getUser());
item.setVisible(true);
IWDatacapture.redraw();
}

function handleNameDCR()
{
//Get the name and model number of this shoe and
//create a dcr name from it.
var shoeName = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Name").getValue();
var modelNumber = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Model Number").getValue();
var dcrName = shoeName + "-" + modelNumber + ".dcr";
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(dcrName);
//Now return true so that the save continues with this name
return true;
}

//typeToSole provides a mapping of a type of shoe to the type of sole this
//shoe can have.
var typeToSole = new Object();
typeToSole["Tennis"] = "Rubber";
typeToSole["Running"] = "Air Sole";
typeToSole["Basketball"] = "Flubber";
//For "others", there is no restriction.
typeToSole["Others"] = null;

//typeToUppers provides a mapping of a type of shoe to the type of uppers this
//shoe can have.
var typeToUppers = new Object();
typeToUppers["Tennis"] = ["Nylon","Leather"];
typeToUppers["Running"] = ["Nylon","Leather"];
typeToUppers["Basketball"] = ["Faux Leather"];
typeToUppers["Others"] = ["Faux Leather","Nylon","Leather"];

/**
