.The periods are there strictly to make viewing the output a little easier..It seems that the hideif statement interprets this as:[HIDEIF foo!=[ANSWERC1]]foo![/HIDEIF]As you can see, this is not going to display the contents of the hideif because the ! is switching it to !=.. It is my belief that the contents of a variable should not affect the comparisons.. I need a way to make webdna interpret the ! as part of the left side of the equation.Is this a bug? If not, any ideas out there?--- jereme claussen --b-r-o-k-e-n-m-a-c-h-i-n-e-- jtc@brokenmachine.com -http://www.brokenmachine.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
