SHOWIF/HIDEIF empty fields

texte = Here's something that really puzzles me. In theory there are two methods if you want to show a text block only if a given database field has content: [SHOWIF [FIELD]=]{text block}[/SHOWIF] or [HIDEIF [FIELD]?]{text block}[/HIDEIF] However, I've found that both don't always work. Sometimes the first one works while the second one doesn't, in other apparently identical circumstances it's the other way round. Crazily enough there doesn't seem to be any system to it so the only way to find out which one works is to try both. Does anybody have an idea why WebDNA acts like this?
