I do see a message when trying the post, that says exception thrown, see JavaScript Console. There are too many error lines to be sure which one of them is important. I get no error when trying to set the style of the text, which makes me think that the field is a plain text field.
When I test the stack inside LiveCode, the style changes and the post are working. > On Sep 13, 2021, at 3:14 PM, Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Hi Colin, > If it is HTML5 deployment you are looking to do from LC, how time critical > is your project?
