We use the [raw] tag here to force WebDNA to ignore the brackets and do a comparison based on the brackets and text inside.[showif [formvariable]=[raw][formvariable][/raw]] Wasn't checked!

If you left the [raw] tags off, this wouldn't work: showif would ALWAYS show, because it would either look like[showif [formvarable]=[formvariable]] (in the case that it's not set) [showif hello=hello] (in the case that formvariable=helloGrant Hulbert, V.P.
