Trying to figure out how the engine treats margins is still a mystery to me. Just when I think I have it figured out I test another font and size and my code doesn't work just like it should. * No message sent after text has been entered by the user and stored in the field by the engine but BEFORE the text is displayed to the user. * Lack of a structured representation of the text and it's formatting in a UTF* encoded format. I do a lot of text manipulation in my programs and the htmlText isn't quite as structured or as entity-free as one would hope. * No equivalent to CSS styling for text attributes. I want to be able to define a style of a run of text and then be able to update that style in a global location. * The field object can behave unpredictably with some eastern European languages on Windows. You can end up with characters that are not encoded properly in the htmltext. > Also it's not clear what you are signing up for when you 'Create a Clarify > Account' .. what's this for? This is the web service that Clarify posts documents to. This service is still pretty new and we are fleshing it out. We will add a description to that signup page. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems LiveCode Resources for Developers: http://livecode.bluemangolearning.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
