set the text of line 4 of field id 123?
These work as expected: put newLine into line lineNum of field id fieldID set the htmltext of line lineNum of field id fieldID to newLine So why on earth does this not work? set the text of line lineNum of field id fieldID to newLine I've always found the properties (text and htmltext) of text fields somewhat inconsistent, and can never remember the ins and outs - so I 'think this has always been the case and is not a new bug in the beta. Can anyone make sense of this for me? ___ 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

David,
Because the text of is a property of a field (button, image), not a
line/chunk thereof. The HTMLText syntax specifically allows for chunks; Text
does not. From the docs:
set the HTMLText of [chunk of] field to htmlString
set the text of {button | field | image} to string
It would appear you have a nice enhancement request for the text of
property, but it's probably that way because HTMLText will always be text
data, whereas the text of something could be binary.

OK - filed as an enhancement request. Vote for it
herehttp://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7590- if you
feel the same!
I guess I could use set the htmltext of line 1 of field even if using plain
text - but I think it is just plain counter intuitive as it is - good to see
the docs are explicit though :)

Bill - you don't know where to download beta's do you? I'd like to install
dp1 due to the value() bug in dp2 - and while I'm at it maybe check what
happened to my enterprise mailing list subscription?

Rev doesn't have the betas available as a download ... that was available only during the open beta for 2.9. Now they're back to getting them from within the Enterprise software. But Heather might be able to help obtain it for you (or a new dp3 might do the trick). Heather's also the only person who can fix the Enterprise mailing list problem. Wish I could help.

Re: set the text of line 4 of field id 123?
Lost in translation :) newLine here is just a (probably bad choice for a variable name. The issue is not how to do it - it's just that it is naturla syntax to try to set the text of line x of field... and I think you should be able to use it. 2009/1/2 J.
