Hi all. Very odd, I thought this worked. I am programmatically popping up a menu, then I want to be able to jse the arrow keys to traverse the selections available. If I click any of the choices, the menuPick handler gets the choice as the first parameter. If however I use the spacebar or the

Hi Tim, I think there are many easy ways to do this - and many not-so-easy ones too. IMO, easiest for something simple like this is to just use the url. See tweedly.net/page_by_url.txt for the code, or try it out at tweedly.net/page_by_url.lc (or try tweedly.net/page_by_url.lc?row=14 ) You

Hi Tim, You can also use localStorage for user specific data at the browser level : In your .lc script on the server : to store localStorage.jcf2 = '" &sDir& "' and retrieve data var jMem = localStorage.getItem('jcf2'); Regards, JC Le ven. 12 août 2022 à 15:19, Tim Selander via use-live

Hi Matthias, It is user specific, but I just tried the saving to a text file on the server -- very fast. Got the user IP from $_Server, and used that in the filename for easy later retrieval. How much data can a cookie hold? Guess I'll test that. One of the reasons I'm fussing with this is I

Hi Tim, does the variable have a user specific value or a value, that changes from time to time, but is the same for all users? I've done something some time ago and used a text file on the server which stored that value. In my case the value was not user specific so it was an easy task. If
