Terry,
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. A couple of thoughts crossed my mind
while reading it.
Years ago, in a former life, I used to attend various CEO conferences. At
one of them, I had a chance to visit with Eric Schmidt, now of Google, but
then he was with Sun. We got to talking about

Andre,
Very nice! Of course your challenge will be how to add a geometry manager to
the stack-- and the resulting website! It might be interesting to have it
pop out a WordPress theme ;-)
Good stuff for sure. I look forward to hearing more about it.

Wow. Looks great. I look forward to trying the iPad version ;-)

Chipp,
You know what? I already have part of the geometry manager somewhat working.
You can see that rectangle graphics, it has a geometry setting for absolute
position on the right side, I use that as a hint that the given object
should have width: 100% instead of its actual width... it is all
I don't expect that some LiveCard HC equivalent will ever help us to build
professional grade HTML5/CSS3 LC powered client-side apps. On the other hand,
in about server-side LC-server driven apps, i expect that a full revamped set
of htmltext and unicode LC-engine features would greatly help us
Following Tariel's report, here is a puzzle:
Make a text entry field and set its font to Arial,Unicode.
Put these three characters in the field and lock it:

The first one is decimal 171, the last one is decimal 187; they are called
Double Angle Quotation Marks.

Slava,
no contribution to the puzzle but maybe to more sleep: the HTMLText works
for selecting «—» and copying it. And all words afterwards.
No order in the chaotic universe, just managing it, word by word :)
Kind regards

That is Fedora 15 running Gnome 3.0. It is very good and it will replace Mac
OS X as my main machine as soon as we get feature parity between the
platforms (revBrowser, I am looking at you).
I am running vanilla Fedora 15, with no tweaks or anything, just the plain
OS. I've installed

XION is an xTalk language similar to the ones used by HyperCard,

Interesting project! Hopefully it gain more supporters

I don't think I could abide the No Network - No Work thing. There are a lot of

Actually there is a compile step. The beauty is that it happens in the dev
environment as the app is running, and only to script objects that have been
edited. Try to execute an uncompiled script and it will run like the previously
compiled script.
However, we are talking about a conversion

I just have to follow Richard, Andre, ... on this.

Hi Chipp,
This sheds some other light upon this topic. I think the reason why it is such
a torture to work with HTML5 is the lack of a good RAD tool. The guy who
figures out how to do that, is a soon to be rich guy. A development environment
with the ease of use LiveCode offers, that makes
Hi Terry and the rest,
Just finished a nice lunch with Jerry and Chris-- two people who have very
different takes on the subject, but both agree with Richard and most of you
regarding one thing: Learning Javascript is important.
Both these guys also know me, and know how I program. Like many of
Bernd,
Thanks for the good news, but it doesn't work for me. I must be doing something
wrong. I am using the Russian text from Gogol that Tariel found. It is in the
attached txt file, with the three problem chars. And I'm using the handler you
posted on 6/16. It is in the other attached file.
Google is planning for offline mode by the end of the summer. Certainly,

not sure owning a Chromebook and iPad is mutually exclusive-- as I own both,
and use both. Though I've been using my iPad quite a bit less lately...
I take it you know there's a developer option in settings, where you can get OS
updates as they happen? Not sure if that does the offline thing yet, I'm just
doing an update now.

As advised by the good folks on the list, custom properties are capable of
storing Unicode text, but typing it in the Contents window of the property
inspector is not a good idea. Instead, establish the text in a field first,
then assign it to the custom property from the unicodeText of the field.
Hi.
I use the group command to group three groups, rename that new group to
gpABC, do some stuff to it, and then ungroup it.
Oddly, if immediately afterwards I regroup the same three groups, the new group
gets named gpABC instead of being automatically assigned an I'd number as
