WebCatalog 4.0 introduced a new context called [If] which works much like a C-language 'if' statement. To that end, [If] requires that you put quotes around strings so that it can distinguish text from numbers, parentheses and other comparison operators.[ShowIf], on the other hand, retains the original syntax (for obvious legacy reasons), and does not require quotes. The correct syntax is all documented in your online docs under the context headings [If] and [ShowIf].Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog) 16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | ------------------------- San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development WebCatalog Support: (858) 675-0632 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
