Re: Date Comparison Problems (was Date)
Hi Ian, theDOBA is an array containing a date in the form DD MM - one element per key [snip] put the short date into theDateNow It appears to me that the two dates are in different formats: DOB = DD MM theDateNow = MM DD YY If you computer's date format is set to DD MM (& the year of birth is within the range defined by the centuryCutoff), "put the short system date into theDateNow" should do the job. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company "And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee." from "The Triple Foole" by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The easiest way IMHO is to put this script in the field: on rawKeyUp set the enabled of btn "Submit" to (me is not empty) end rawKeyUp on returnInField click at loc of btn "Submit" end returnInField Now what this will do is not allow returns in the text field; i.e. any returns hit in the field will trigger the Submit button. And by testing the contents of the field when the keystroke has completed, we can determine whether to enable or disable the Submit button. Will this work for you?

Re: Field listener
Now that I have time for a more detailed answer, the key lies in how you use the 'closefield' handler of the text entry field. It is possible to : on closefield if me is empty then set a flag 'IamEmpty' to true set the Submit button to diabled state ---or simpler for the programmer --less user friendly on SubmitButton if fld textEntry is empty then set me to diaabled state answer "Nothing to submit" else do the submit tasks end if Jim Ault Las Vegas On 9/10/06 9:17 AM, "Trevor Hopkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to build a form whose "submit" button only becomes enabled after > text is present in a specific field (and likewise when that field is blank, > the "submit" button returns to disabled status).

Re: remove html tags from text
By the way, which tags are used makes a big difference. Table tags are used frequently for layout. Notice the difference below Depending on the tags used, html considers a run of spaces as one space, but a parser has to accommodate the difference. This means that the source can have extra characters and still look the same to the viewer. - paste into your favorite word processor, save as something.html, then open in a browser http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> Untitled put 2< 3 put 2< 3 put 2< 3 put 2< 3 second 2 < 3 third2 < 3 Ahh, the wonderful world of browsers and html.

Re: Date Comparison Problems (was Date)
Just curious... instead of an array...might the dateitems function (which I use a lot) be more intuitive-helpful? wherein the order of items is fixed unlike the array hash order? After validation, convert tDOB to dateitems # keep it stored as dateitems list # access items as needed for , MM, DD # future test: if DateAsSeconds(tDOB) > DateAsSeconds(the date) then answer "That's the future!" with "Oops, try again..." exit to top end if function DateAsSeconds tDate convert tDate to seconds return tDate end DateAsSeconds I've just used dateitems for so long I think I have it memorized year: item 1 of tDOB etc. not as "cool" or terse as using arrays, but more transparent.

Then choose "Show View Options" from under the "View" menu in the Finder. You can set the background picture from there.

No, you can say:
set the htmlText of fld 2 to the htmlText of fld 1
This will carry over an exact copy of fld 2 into fld 1

Re: Characters above ASCII 255
Hi Adrian, Take a look in the docs at the UseUnicode property. It enables numToChar() to process values higher than 255. Phil Davis Adrian Williams wrote: I'm having trouble accessing ASCII characters above 255 in a font that has 1200 characters. I've tried this... put numToChar(1378) into field "FontDisplay.txt" but get two unwanted characters: a hollow square next to a character. Should I be doing some kind of conversion or calling for a Hexadecimal value or something else?

Of course, maybe you have good reason for using an array skts Hi I was experimenting with a simple way to validate a date and hit upon arrays as a way of confirming the number of days in a month - use an array containing the days of the month and reference those by the month number. Use of arrays just spiraled from there. The humourous aspect, for me, in all this, is that after writing many lines of code to achieve a valid date it seems all I needed to do was code if theDOB is a date. Isn't Revolution wonderful! Back to the drawing board.

Re: Date Comparison Problems (was Date)
Hi Rob Yes with further investigation that seems to be my problem. My system date is DD/MM/ as is my preferred format for the input date - Rev seems to prefer MM/DD/ and this is where my error was occurring.

Re: .dmg windows
Trevor, it's pretty simple to do it by hand. Steps: 1) First on that DMG create a folder and put your background image inside that folder. 2) Hide that folder. 3) Show the view options (Command+J) and select the background option. 4) Now is the trick, since you made that little folder invisible, it is not showing on the list, press Command+Shift+G, this will ask you which folder you want to browse, by selecting first your root DMG folder, after pressing this, you can just type in your hidden folder, bingo, you're seeing your hidden folder with the background image. 5) Select that image. 6) There's no step six Remember to set the dafault view of the DMG to icons, or the background will not show. Then after that, lock the DMG so that no one changes it. Hope it helped!

runrev player, stackrunner in windows xp home
Hi. Are there any documented limitations of the Revolution Player or StackRunner not running in certain versions of Windows? I have a student who is running Windows XP Home on a Sony Vaio, and who tells me he cannot run my stacks through either the player or stackrunner -- the problem involves playing audiofiles (mp3's) that are saved in a separate folder, and opening pdf's that are to be "launched" from within my stack. Should this work, or is it an os-level problem? The stacks I've built work just fine with StackRunner on my Mac laptop running latest Tiger, as well as my Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop running windows xp pro sp 2. rand valentine ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Characters above ASCII 255
Actually my response may have been premature. What I said earlier is true, but it may not give you the outcome you're looking for. Here's another approach that might give you the desired outcome (or at least it will be a learning experience): - copy the text from a word processor that displays the text correctly - paste the text into the Rev field - put the htmlText of the field into another field where you can look at it. This way you can see the HTML entity codes, language settings etc. needed to make the text display correctly. If you want to modify the text display in the first field, you can tweak the html a bit and set the htmlText of the first field to the tweaked html. Maybe some of this will be useful.

It's possible you may be running into the path-format/long-file-name issue. See this thread for 2 possible workarounds: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2005-July/061722.html Supposedly 2.7.3 addresses these problems but I haven't tested this myself.

Should I be doing some kind of conversion or calling for a Hexadecimal value or something else? (Strictly speaking, ASCII characters are encoded with codes 0 through 127.) If property 'the useUnicode' is true, then numToChar() will generate 16-bit values, each value being two bytes each in host order. Normally, this will display as two characters if put into a field as above. Normally, characters are interpreted as encoded in Mac Roman on Mac platforms and as Latin-1 (or Windows-1252) on others. These are single byte encodings that are supersets of ASCII, that is, characters are assigned to most codes in the range 128-255. So, (normally) those two bytes are interpreted as two characters when put into a field on the platform specified. This will probably display the symbol for "the character is not in the font" next to a "b" in the above case. So, maybe you have useUnicode set to true and you are on a Mac. Also, since you see a box, I'd guess you are using a font that doesn't have a character defined for the code 5. (There is a way to set the language of a font, but I'm not familiar with that approach. Others might help. Like Phil, I'm not too sure about this.) One way to extend beyond the Mac Roman (or Latin-1) character set is to use Unicode encoding. If the characters, that is, the glyphs, you want are specified in Unicode and there is a way to use Unicode encoding with the font, then this should work. If this is a specialized font, maybe not. You can create Unicode text several ways. Here are two: One is to use numToChar(0x0562) for Armenian small ben, or any other Unicode encoding, to build the character if you find the characters in Unicode (www.unicode.org/charts/). You can '&' them together. Or you can use fields on cards in a library or substack that contains the text you want and get the unicodeText property of the field with the data you need. In either of those two cases, you can set the unicodeText of a field to the text you compose. A third method is to use htmlText. See Phil's suggestion. Sometimes a special font uses private codes to represent special characters in Unicode. The font documentation might provide that info, if that is what you need. There are some enhancement suggestions in bugzilla to allow checking of characters in a font and to allow uniform Unicode-based representation of a universal set of characters.
