Hi all, I’m seeing some behavior that I think is incorrect when setting the htmltext property of a field. I would be interested in other takes on it prior to filing a report, however.
Take the following HTML: <p>This is <span metadata="90660"><font color="#3597F3">line 1</font></span></p> <p>This is line 2</p> If you set the htmltext of a field using the above html then character 15 is a linefeed. If you check the metadata of character 15 it will be 90660. You can confirm this by doing the following: 1) Create a new stack 2) Add a field 3) Copy the html to the clipboard 4) Execute the following in the multiline message box: ``` set the htmltext of field 1 to the clipboarddata put 15 into tChar put charToNum(char tChar of field 1) & cr & the metadata of char tChar of field 1 ``` I don’t think the metadata (or link) should be applied to the LF character. The metadata should only be applied to the characters that the <span> wraps and the </p> tag is outside of the <span>. Is there a reason the current behavior is desirable and shouldn’t be changed? -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps www.screensteps.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
