That means you can use WebDNA to 'write' javascript, but you cannot use javascript to 'write' WebDNA, analogous to using WebDNA to 'write' SQL statements.Be careful that you do not use index variables in JavaScript that happen to match WebDNA variable names. Things like array[lineindex], where lineindex is a *javascript* variable, would not give expected results if you happen to be inside a [LineItems] loop.But for the most part, you can just let them work together, because we designed it to allow this situation. For instance, since WebDNA does *not* collapse unknown variables to nothing (despite numerous vocal requests for this 'feature' months ago), you can drop in javascript arrays like array[i] and WebDNA will not mess with that [i] by collapsing it to nothing.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
