If I may add something to this, the reason why the syntax did not throw an error at compile time is because the compiler does not know whether or not VarHTMLText is a variable that contains the value "field HTMLTextField1" or the name of any object to be precise. If it did then it would be valid syntax. I do this all the time for DataGrids, as I can have datagrids on different cards in different stacks with the same name, eg. "dgCustomers".
So I script put the long id of group "dgCustomers" into tGridID Now I can script put the dgHilitedIndex of tGridID into tIndex Bob S > On May 18, 2022, at 09:23 , Rick Harrison via use-livecode > <[email protected]> wrote: > > This works: > > set the HTMLText of field "HTMLTextField1" of this card to URL VarURL > > > This doesn’t work: > > set the HTMLText of VarHTMLText to URL VarURL > > (The syntax is accepted fine, but it throws the following error at execution > time.) > > Chunk: error in object expression _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
