How do you know it didn't work? Well ok.. first.. On the server you have to make sure that the stack you are on is the one you think you're on. If you put the name of "this stack" you can see where you are when it happens. Second, the server first loads the stack. Then if you "put" something into the field of the stack (especially if you are explicit so that you know exactly WHAT stack and field you're putting it into,) it most likely does it, but you wouldn't be able to see it in the browser, because you aren't looking at the stack. So you'd have to check the stack itself (while the lc script is running, if you put something into a field, and then immediately "put the text of field blah blah blah" so that it grabs the text and puts it onto the web page, you can see that it is indeed there. Since each hit to the web server is a new instance, the next time you hit the page, the text would not be in that field, UNLESS you told the lc script to save the stack.
This is how I created the test stack I'm using. I had the lc script create the stack, set the script of the stack, set the filename of the stack, then saved the stack. IF I had also created and populated fields in the stack and then saved it, the fields would still be populated and the text could then be extracted from them. (It would get much more complex with multiple users of course, due to concurrency poblems) Mind if I ask what you're looking to accomplish?
