Hi Kerry
I just tested this handler in D8 to create a html table on the fly with it
showing the update on the screen immediately:
on mCreateTable param2DListOfValues
vHtmlTable = "<html><body><table>"
vCount = param2DListOfValues.count
repeat with i = 1 to vCount
vHtmlTable = vHTMLTable & "<tr>"
vCount2 = param2DListOfValues[i].count
repeat with j = 1 to vCount2
vHtmlTable = vHtmlTable & "<td>" & param2DListofValues[i][j] & "</td>"
end repeat
vHtmlTable = vHTMLTable & "</tr>"
end repeat
vHtmlTable = vHtmlTable & "</table></body></html>"
member("HTMLMember").html = vHTMLTable
end mCreateTable
the list I used for testing was
vList = [["mark", "kerry", "tom", "joe"],["jim", "irv", "james",
"john"],["bob", "rob", "chris", "bill"]]
then ran it from the message window
mCreateTable vList
Of course I should say that I had a text member called "HTMLMember" in the
cast already.
It barely took a split second to create.
But that doesn't answer your question about why the text member didn't
refresh. Perhaps time for a reboot ????
Sincerely
Mark
