texte = I'm creating (yet another) bulletin board type application with WebCatalog.I'm using a single page to do both NEW POSTS, and REPLIES.If it's a NEW POST, all of the fields are EMPTY, and the contents needs to be supplied by the user.If it's a REPLY, I'm trying to pass (as a HIDDEN field subject) the contents of the SUBJECT, and have that populate the SUBJECT field for me.The problem is that I can't seem to find any combination of [showif] or [hideif] conditionals that will this.Here's a few of my last attempts:Passing the value via a form with: The page it's calling has the following: [showif [subject]=] Subject: [/showif] [hideif [subject]=] Subject: [/hideif]*OR* [showif [subject]!] Subject: [/showif] [hideif [subject]!] Subject: [/hideif]I would expect that if [subject] doesn't exist, it would leave the field empty, but instead, it always puts the text [subject] in the field, except when it really is getting passed a value.I hope I'm missing something simple, but this is really driving me crazy!Dan Keldsen - djk@delphigroup.com Director, I.S. - webmaster@delphigroup.com The Delphi Group - http://www.delphigroup.com/ 100 City Hall Plaza - ph: 617-247-1511 Boston, MA 02108-2106 - fax:617-247-4957 Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
