Those who wish to use WebCat 4 features with the old style text variable handling can do so with HAS_WEBDNA_TAGS and [text secure=F] and those who want all text variables to be secure (and I count myself in this category : ) can just use [text] -- since secure=T would be the default state of the new text variables.Rob Marquardt Designer/Resident Wirehead Toast Design800 Washington Avenue North Minneapolis MN 55401 612.330.9863 v 612.321.9424 f www.toastdesign.com ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
