The BUG is BACK -- leading < character
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 18602
interpreted = N
texte = >>>When I type < as the FIRST character in a form field, either as the ONLY>>>character in that field or as the first of a string of characters>>>>Yes, that will happen with <>!~= characters, because those are reserved for>>comparison operators in the ShowIf equation. 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 ...Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net
