texte = I am now 1 day into WebControl and very frustrated. I can not seem to findany where in the docs where they tell what those datarq, as, eq, wo, etc..things around the fields in [search] are, can anyone tell me where to findout.Also, I am trying to check when a field is empty.This works:[showif [image_width]> ]It has a width number[/showif]However, I need an [if][then][else] that will eval to true (then) if[image_width] is empty. This is so that I can do something like:[if ([image_width]>100)|([image_width] is empty) [then]100[/then] [else][image_width][/else][/if]Please help. I have sent SmithMicro three emails and they have notanswered.
