Re: Checking for blank form fields (sort of...)
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 18346
interpreted = N
texte = >I would expect that if [subject] doesn't exist, it would leave the field >empty, but instead, it always puts the text [subject] in the field, except >when it really is getting passed a value.Yes, that's on purpose to be compatible with HTML pages that happen to have text in them that look like tags. If WebCatalog doesn't recognize a tag, it leaves it alone.So the solution is to compare against the raw text [xxx] like so:[ShowIf [subject]=[raw][subject][/raw]] No subject passed in!
