Enhancement Request for WebCatalog-NT

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

1996

It keeps the original formatting. numero = 10088
interpreted = N
texte = It would be nice if you provided a template variable which was the  total number of lines in the scrapbook. I know that I can use  [lineIndex] to refer to the current line, but there is no way to get  the total number of lines. I needed to be able to use JavaScript to  calculate a shipping charge and total for an order form. I had no way  of knowing how many lines were in the scrapbook. I eventually just  created a JavaScript variable and incremented it within each line as  it was generated. I will eventually be rewriting this process with  Perl, so non-Netscape browsers can get the purchase total. Something  analagous to [numFound] or [numReturned], perhaps called [numLines]  would make my life easier...  Thanks  Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
