Technically, you should be using 14 ($E) as the part code for hiliting an Icon
button (since that's what FindControl returns), but that's not your immediate
problem (any nonzero value seems to hilite it for me).

You might check whether ORCA/C is accidentally initializing temp to 0 every
time your procedure gets called...it's a tempting explanation.
