You may notice that I have asked about this topic before. Sorry to be dense but I am still struggling; I think I am missing something fundamental in my understanding of the htmlText property.
What I want to be able to do is something like this (to get a dialog box with bold text in it (or some other appropriate formatting)): answer "<b>This is the answer!</b>" This displays the answer dialog unformatted, with the tags. I tried using a field: set the htmlText of fld "theFld" to "<b>This is the answer!</b>" answer the htmlText of fld "theFld" This displays the formatted text in the field, but not the dialog box, the dialog box gets the literal tags.. I tried: set the htmlText of fld "theFld" to "<b>This is the answer!</b>" answer fld "theFld" This gives some other undesirable result that I have now forgotten. The documentation gives my hope when is says the following (under the description for Answer): Comments: The prompt can be either formatted text (in the htmlText property's format) or plain text. If the prompt contains <p> or a start/end tag pair, the answer command assumes the text is in the same format as the htmlText property. Otherwise, the answer command assumes the text is plain text. I just seem to be missing something essential; in the context of this comment the words about "the htmlText property" are ambiguous. The "htmlText property" of what? The answer dialog? How do I set that? If anyone can follow what I am trying to ask, and knows what key concept I am missing, please let me know. Thanks. -Paul _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
