texte = Mac, WebStar 4.2/SSL, Webcatalog 3.07Unless I'm misunderstanding how the [math] context works, I'm seeing some strange behavior:I use a loop for my CC expiration: I thought this was working fine, and in fact it has been. Today, though, there is no output from the loop. I isolated the [math] portion and discovered that it is evaluating to blank (no value). But if I put a variable value in the equation, it displays the desired value, ie [math][date %Y]+13[/math] <-- No output [math]x=[date %Y]+13[/math] <-- Evaluates correctlyAm I just being a dummy and not understanding the [math] functionality?Mike ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
