texte = Read my e-mail again; it is always safe to URLize _both sides_ of a comparison. Even if you are typing in text as the comparison value, you can wrap it with [URL][/URL] since then you know that the same transformation has occured on both sides.In your example, it would look like: [Showif [URL][aaa][/URL]=[URL]bbb[/URL]]...[/ShowIf]and would not be true unless the field [aaa] contained the string value bbb exactly. If you are concerned about uninitialized variables, you should also examine your code and decide whether you should be setting them to some know value on the page before you test them. Hope this makes it clearer...John Peacock ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Re: when is failing to [URL]ize values in a comparison risky Author:
(WebCatalog Talk) Date: 12/9/99 12:22 PMJohn,I have been avoiding [URL]izing unless there was a chance of someone inputting a comparioson char because of when there maybe some character in the value for a variable that I do not want to get [URL]ized, like so-[showif [URL][aaa][/URL]=bbb] resolving as [showif %5baaa%5d=(bbb's value)] when [aaa] had no value.So I want to know under what condition webcat *will crash* when I do not [URL]ize.
