Re: SHOWIF/HIDEIF empty fields

texte = Your syntax is screwed up. What's that question mark doing in your hideif? A question mark is not a comparison operator. You might try fixing that problem first, before you make any more incorrect assumptions. WebDNA does not work the way you're describing when your syntax is correct. By the way, you should [url] your [field] value in both examples below if you really want to insure that your showif's and hideif's will work properly all the time.
