If a variable named fred does not exist, then [fred] will display literally [fred]. This is done purposely so that web pages with text button-bars won't mess up:[ Home | About Us | Guestbook ] should display as plain text even though it has those [ in it.So to check for the 'non-existence' of a variable, you can just check to see if its value is the same as its raw text:[showif [fred]=[raw][fred][/raw]]...variable fred doesn't exist[/showif]Notice you need the [raw] context because [showif [fred]=[fred]] will always be true: [showif 12=12] or [showif [fred]=[fred]] is always true.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
