That's not what support is about! If you're too lazy to do it yourself, then ask nicely for someone else to give you an example instead of being a jerk about it.What seems to be your problem anyways?They suggested you use the formvariable technique so you could see which variables have fixed values on the page. The reason is simple -- so you would not be tempted to set new text or math variables with the same names on that page.If you want some kind of error-handling code, you have to write it yourself -- that's why they made the webdna language so powerful in the first place, so you can do things yourself!There is nothing wrong with the way webcatalog works. If you don't understand it, then read the manual and the docs, or ask polite questions, instead of accusing SM of poor tech support. Their support has improved noticeably during the past month or so -- but they still have no obligation to do your work for you.================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
