Hi, Lawrence. This is from the docs for = [ShowIf]:

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Tip: make sure neither side of the comparison equation = contains any of the special comparison letters listed above. For = example, [ShowIf I'm Friendly! Are you?=3D[question]] contains an = exclamation point inside the sentence being compared, so WebDNA sees = this as "I'm Friendly" is not equal to " Are you?=3D[question]", which = is not what the author meant to compare.

The solution = is to wrap each side of the comparison with [URL] contexts, like = this:
[ShowIf [URL]I'm Friendly! Are = you?[/URL]=3D[URL][question][/URL]]. This causes any embedded !=3D><= symbols to be converted to their URL equivalents, which can then be = compared correctly.
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Once in a thousand years or so a question = is posted that I actually know the answer to=A0 ;-)

Hello,

I just have a = problem I never noticed.
I use the = "classical" showif , hideif to display a result depending on what the = field contains.
[showif [myfiled]=3D[blank]] = RESULT[/showif]
This is absolutely simple, = except that is the filed [myfiled] contains the caracter "!", nothing = will be displayed...

Has any one had this problem? How can it be = solved?

Thanks
Lawrence
