Hi,

When using Fox forms I would like to replace a null/empty text from an input field with a character, for example  "-", so that the target page is more readable.
I think that I should create a Fox filter to take the empty variable and replace it with a "-" but this is far beyond my knowledge. So I tried a different route.
I tried to use conditional markup in the Fox template, i.e. if input text = "" then replace with "-" else display input text.

In the Fox template I am using this syntax:

(:if equal {$$Input_Text} "":)(:{$$Input_Text}:"-":)(:else:){$$Input_Text}(:ifend:)

However this doesn't work as I intended, the page shows  (::"-":)   instead of just the  - character I was hoping for. 
I can't figure out how to replace  {$$Input_Text} with a preset character when the input is empty.

Any suggestions on this would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Graham
