Apparently the conversion to htmltext kills the reference to the "hidden" character.
For example, put this in a button: on mouseup put "This is some text" into fld 1 set the imageSource of char 1 of fld 1 to "arrow" put the htmlText of fld 1 into lNewText set the htmlText of fld "results" to lNewText set the imageSource of char 1 of fld 1 to empty set the imageSource of char 1 of fld "results" to empty end mouseup The T is restored in fld 1 but is not restored in fld "results". It looks like you'll have to keep track of the hidden character yourself and restore it manually after an html conversion. :-( Howard Bornstein ____________________ D E S I G N E Q www.designeq.com >Try this: > >Create a field, put "This is some text" into it > >Type: > > set the imageSource of char 1 of fld 1 to "arrow" -- or some id >that exists > >...we now have "his is some text" with the hidden letter 'T' 'holding' >the image, correct? > >Create a 2nd field to display some results in. > >We can get the full text by typing: > > put the text of fld 1 into fld "results" > >... the result is 'This is some text' and we are happy.
