As many as you want.Okay then, this makes life a lot easier! This means my response at the top of theis message is wrong, there is a much easier way to get the browser's [password] value. All I should have to do while in a [founditems] context would be to put a:[/founditems] [password] [founditems]into my existing templates wherever I need the *browser's* password instead of the *database* password value. And if my [founditems] context is nested in another [founditems] context, all I would need to do is get slightly more complicated, such as:[/founditems] [/founditems] [password] [founditems] [founditems]This ought to work, right?Sincerely, Ken Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
