I don't see anything in those two handlers that would cause a field's content to clear. I'd look somewhere else, maybe a card or stack script is causing it to happen. Do you have any closeField or exitField handlers that delete field content? On August 6, 2014 1:19:51 PM CDT, Charles Szasz

I think you would need to have the customizable parts in a separate data file generated for each user, that your app reads. User data separated from app logic. Its not always so easy to do. If your user data is sensitive it would need to be encrypted I suppose. A tool could be written to help ge

Text in an edit field disappears after opening a substack

I am using LC 5.5.5. I have a substack (“Grade”) that is launched when the user goes from one edit field to the next field. The substack has a grade option button that inserts a grade in the second field. After the user enters text in the first field and goes to the next field, the text in the

Anyone know if it's possible to manually trigger a page "advance" on a mobile scroller, when the scroller has paging enabled? I'm wondering if there's some method to cause the scroller to advance to the next "page" other than setting the scroll of the scroller manually. Thanks & Regards, Scott R

Yes, but just having a more complete implementation of PCRE regex would make a big difference. For example, LC's regex does not include back references. Having the ability to use (PCRE compliant) back references would, I believe, in many case, eliminate the need for that array of matches. For exa
