texte = This does look like a bug, or at least an interesting programming choice by SMSI... If the path for the [fileinfo] points at a valid JPG or GIF file, [imageheight] shows the pixel height. If the path points to a non-existent file, [imageheight] is blank. If the path points to a file that is not a JPG or GIF file, then the first time you look at [imageheight] it says: Error: Invalid image extension (file path) The second and subsequent times you look at [imageheight] for a non-image file, it comes up blank. - Brian On Nov 9, 2004, at 8:59 AM, wrote: > [!]=== Someone PLEASE try this, I think it is a WebDNA bug! ==== > > "test.tpl" is reached by this form: >
