texte = Yeah, noticed that too, and FWIW, I've added this to my code snippets in EditPlus:[showif [variable]!][showif [variable]![raw][variable][/raw]][variable][/showif][/showif]GKP.S. I'm working on the interactive WebDNA reference. I should have a beta of that up sometime today. The nice thing is that the actual pages of the commands/contexts are displayed in an iframe from http://webdnadocs.smithmicro.com/, so whenever they update their docs, it's updated on this version as well. Notes can be appended to the bottom of each page for code snippets, examples, gotcha's, etc. I'll keep you all posted....> I tend to agree here .. the correct way to check if a variable contains/does > not contain something > > [showif [url][variable][/url]=] ..... > [showif [url][variable][/url]!].... > > Alain > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Tim Robinson
