Is this correct?But if the showif is true, then Option#1 should be fastest, because the code that needs to be interpreted is already there, inside the showif itself, so webcat doesn't have to perform any extra steps to include it from a separate file or to look it up it in a db file.Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
