Re: Staying on a field

Folks, Not strictly related to this but what date format does the syntax "if this is not a date" use? And where is it documented that "a date" is a valid expression? Just curious since I've spent several hours writing code to try to validate a date based on the user's system settings and I've ne

Re: LC in Education

Hi Judy - the good thing about Blackboard occasionally being unreliable is that people are more likely to be somewhat forgiving when (inevitably) one of the new systems we are developing springs a problem. We can usually put things right pretty quickly and only a few hundred users at most will expe

weird system global name is crippling LC!

Help! Apparently Google Chrome defined a global on my Mac that is crippling all my versions of LiveCode. LC can't do ANYTHING that requires dealing with globals - like opening the script editor - because it runs into this global var name and doesn't know what to do with it (I assume because of

Colin, Moodle is gaining traction in education because it is FOSS, that is, free, whereas Blackboard is hugely expensive and doesn't tend to play well with any browser made outside of Redmond. Blackboard also has exhibited predatory patent practices and successfully locked some similar Canadi

Bill, I'd try eliminating the exit closeField and the pass closeField from your handler as a first effort. I don't think either are needed in this case and may confuse the "focus" issue. HTH, Joe Lewis Wilkins Architect & Director of Product Development for GSI On May 3, 2011, at 9:14 PM, B

Staying on a field

I do a validity check on a field to see if the user entered a valid date. If the user entered a valid date and presses TAB or RETURN the focus moves on to the next field. However, if the user enters an invalid date I want to keep the focus on the field to try again. This field script does every

Well, this is an old thread, likely long settled, but what the heck! If your customkey is named "victimList" and it's a property of a card then set the victimList of this card to empty -or- set the victimList of card ID 4225 to emtpy -or- set the victimlist of to empty. And so on. Your cus
