It's not a matter of any insensitivity to WSC's position.. but just a matter of so much legacy code. I do not write C++ or whatever webdna is written in, but it must be doable to duplicate the existing [formvariables] code (which loops through all formvars) and if any formvar is in a blacklist (xxx,yyy,zzz..) (the names of the webdna contexts) ... then remove it from the array of formvars, before sending them on to the page (resuming where we were before this new block of C++). On the other hand, I know how it can get, and maybe it is a real nightmare in there.. ;-) ...but certainly less of a nightmare than all the hundreds/thousands of legacy webdna sites we are talking about. Anyway, meanwhile thanks to Brain and Olin for the simple hack-fix! ------------ Govinda govinda.webdnatalk@gmail.com
