Re: Showif dates...
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2002
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 45936
interpreted = N
texte = Isn't this example ({[date]}<{15/12/2000}) just evaluating dates and has nothing to do with [math]?{[date]} would bring up the value 4/12/2002 (running as dd/mm/yyyy). And as the docs says Dates must be enclosed in curly braces to distinguish them from regular numbers. So ({[date]}<{15/12/2000}) becomes ({4/12/2002}<{15/12/2000}) which because the curly brackets indicates they are dates, evaluates as true and has nothing to do with [math], or am I wrong?Regards, Tim> From: Grant Hulbert
