Hmmm. I spend yesterday trying to understand why copying a field with styled text doesn't carry over the styles when pasted. In the Dictionary, I saw this: ...the styled text. (Must be correctly constructed as a LiveCode styledText array, see comments) So, apparently the LiveCode has a specific styl...

According to the Dictionary, the StyledText property is an array. This little example stack gets the array of an example field and puts the array into a Tree View widget. The widget allows us to see how the array is structured. Perhaps the visual representation will help us decipher the problem and ...

Torsten: Take a look at this posting on the forum: https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=37188#p217208 From that posting: Open the LiveCode dictionary and look for $_SERVER. I have a file on my server (at on-rev LiveCode Hosting) that loops through the $_SERVER array and returns each lin...

A special thanks again to bobcole for the insight to use the $_Server array

David:
Thanks for the shout out!

From: djkesler 2. A work-around that I have employed is to determine that the browser is actually running on an Android device. Big thanks to bobcole for the idea to use $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]. I don't know where he found this in the documentation, I haven't been able to locate it(the _USER_AG...

I implemented your two "do ... as javaScript" statements in the attached stack. Running in the IDE, the platform shows as "MacOS" as expected on my Mac laptop. Testing in a web browser, using LC's "the platform" shows as "web" and Testing in a web browser, the "do ... as javaScript" platform shows a...

written by ajperks All I needed to do was run something built with Livecode HTML5 to see if it will run on my Edge browser in Win 10. No HTML apps, even yours will run. I always get an # Exception thrown, see JavaScript console error message. Perhaps LiveCode's default HTML/JavaScript file is causi...

I was curious as to what the minimum html file, with the minimum javaScript, might be. I put this into a .html file (I called it "Minimum.html") and put it in the standalone folder on my server. I navigated the browser to open that file on the server. It worked for a simple LiveCode stack I'm playin...

by FourthWorld » Fri Aug 12, 2022 3:15 pm Making a UI for this in LiveCode would seem like a useful exercise. Here is a starting point for a UI. Needs work. I don't understand why some of the commands don't seem to terminate. Free to modify and use. Have at it! Bob Macos Network Utility.livecode.zip

When testing in the IDE (localhost), a small "Hello World" stack may load from disk so quickly the spinner may not seem to appear. I tested a slightly larger stack in the IDE and the spinner appears briefly. When downloading an app from a server, the spinner grinds away for a few seconds. Refreshing...

Try adding "with messages" to the wait command: That works for me.

put the customProperties of this stack into temp This command will retrieve the full array of data, at all levels, in the current (default) "customKeys" Set. If you have created other Sets of custom properties outside of the customKeys Set, they will not be displayed. According to the dictionary, t...

Mark:
Nice comparison of the two approaches.
Thanks,
Bob

I have been playing with a stack to answer the question of determining the OS of the device that requests a web app. My stack may be a solution to the question. It asks the server to return the Browser's User Agent (a string sent by the device to the server). The default User Agent string provided b...
