If you wrap each side of the >>equation with [URL], you can compare those types of characters.Well, I did what you said:[showif [url][itemName][/url]^[url]<[/url]] [math]errors=errors+1[/math] [math]itemNameBadChars=1[/math] [/showif]... and it still doesn't work ... so if this technique is actually *supposed* to work, that means there's a bug in the software -- because it's not working. The results I keep getting for a field that begins with < are the same as in my previous bug report, so I think there really *IS* a bug here ...
