I forgot about using the [raw] context to differentiate between the variable's value and the literal text string, that's where I went wrong in my testing a little later yesterday. After I sent my message to you yesterday, I tried it without [raw] tags, but since [formvariable] always equals [formvariable], it didn't work, of course. I'm using this string now, and it works just fine:[hideif [formvariable]=[raw][formvariable][/raw]][formvariable][/hideif]Thanks Grant!Sincerely, Ken ------------------------------------ To leave this talk list send an email to macjordomo@smithmicro.com with BODY unsubscribe WebDNA-Talk ------------------------------------
