Re: Focus on next field

In the application browser change the order of the fields/groups. This will become the natural tab order. I usually group labels and fields together in groups and name the groups accordingly, so I reorder my groups. I typically have all the fields/groups at the top of the order, then data grids,

Still sketchy about the last time you actually created a menu from scratch using the menu builder but no matter. Rolling your own works fine. I just don’t want new users to feel that there is a problem if there currently is not. Bob S On Nov 25, 2014, at 13:29 , John Dixon mailto:dixo...@hotm

The benefit of FastCGI would be that the Fast cgi instance would always be running and would not need to be restarted every time a .lc script is parsed saving on the execution time. Even as a CGI process, LiveCode should already be able to run behind a load balancing server, Kind Regards Simon O

Re: Comparison of Speed of LiveCode with PHP

Hi Andre I agree with your comments on the appropriateness of the tests. I’ll give some thought to incorporating more I/O based tests. Do you think that having FastCGI support so that LiveCode could be run behind a load balancing server would be an improvement from a scalability point of view.
