Re: Math inside [showif]
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 16698
interpreted = N
texte = >>If you want your math comparisons to work properly inside showif's, do NOT use the optional show=F parameter. When you do, it hides the value of XXX from the showif so the comparison doesn't work as expected.>>Yes, that makes sense. You are telling it to hide the number that is usually displayed as a result of the equation, so effectively it's [ShowIf =1], which of course is trying to compare
to 1.>>This is not a bug; it's a natural outcome.I didn't mean it to sound like a bug report, just that I thought (for some reason) that it didn't work like this in the previous version -- but it probably did and I just didn't notice. My bad choice of words, because actually it works EXACTLY as expected! :)Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net
