texte = One thing you probably want to do instead, [showif = [var]]something[/showif] [showif ![var]]something[/showif] in case your variable contains a !=~ etc. this could throw off your results as webdna reads this first qualifying statement, hence if var value was set to "!" then you statement would be [showif !=] or in plain english, show if "" does not equal "=" which of course it doesn't. This leaves you with opposite of what you wanted which is showif "" equals "!". try it for yourself and enjoy!
