Automatic [URL]ing by the webdna engine

It keeps the original formatting. numero = 53745
interpreted = N
texte = >Yes. So would it slow everything down enormously if the showif and hideif>did it automatically?URL is not done automatically anywhere. If this feature were implemented, the webdna engine would have to be rewritten so that it would dynamically insert these tags into our code before that code is processed. I assume that something like this would have to be implemented:::1- read the original webdna code into RAM2- scan that code to identify the proper locations for dynamic url tag insertion3- insert [url] and [/url] tags into the properly identified locations4- interpret the resulting code and return the resultsIf the engine were rewritten to perform this task for showifs and hideif's, it should *also* be made to similarly url the values in every append, replace and delete context -- as well as url everything else that should be urled in order to make webdna work properly.Rewriting the webdna engine like this would probably be a difficult task ... but if it were done, it would make our work as webdna programmers *much* faster and easier!It seems to me that an improvement like this would be appreciated by EVERYONE (instead of just a handful of webdna programmers with specific needs) assuming that SMSI make it work properly of course. And I think that if it were implemented, we should also be given a new pref that will let us turn it on and/or off ourselves.What do you guys thing? Is this a feature that SMSI should consider placing at (or near) the top of their list of improvements for the next release?-- Sincerely,Kenneth Grome-------------------------------------------------------------Outsource your WebDNA programming for $18 an hour or less!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
