Re: Date search bug
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998

interpreted = N
texte = This is what creates the popup menu (and crashes WebSTAR):
I removed the &accdatetype=date and it works fine. The weird thing is, on the next page I have:[search db=offshorelog.db&eqaccdatedata=[popup]&accdatetype=date&deaccdatesort=1&deacctimesort=2&max=500]and that works fine. That's why I'm thinking that the bug is in the creation of a popup menu on the fly from a search involving dates.In any case, your suggestion is a good one, as usual, and I think I've already figured out a way to do that.Kenneth Grome wrote: > > >> [accdate] should not interfere with [date] as far as the search routines are concerned.
