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...

Here is the same example from earlier (see above) but I added two Tree View widgets to display my two custom property sets.
All of the code is in the one button. Easy.

I have a web app at: https://morrevbon.com/wordhelper.html It is a helper app for the Wordle game. I only have Mac computers but the app works without issues in Safari, Brave (chrome based) and Firefox. My app doesn't need to read or write a textfile, though. It would be helpful if you could share s...

Here is a example stack with some custom properties added to the stack's built-in "customKeys" property (a.k.a, a set of properties). Also, I added two additional custom property sets. The customKeys set is built-in so I just had to add two test properties and values in the stack inspector. The two ...

I couldn't find the "Use F1…" in System Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts.

See: System Prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard (not Shortcuts)

I don't think this is helpful, though.

Changing the tooltip seems to work for me with web deployment. I created a stack with one button. When the button is clicked, the tooltip is set to a random string of characters (see the script). I first tried to set the tooltip to a 1 to 4 digit random number but that didn't work. Apparently, only ...

Here is a stack with my code for determining character positions in a word or phrase.
Two nested loops. One is a "for-each" loop.
My two cents.

Kangaroo: I have played with all three of your contributions so far. The ability to pass text files to and from LiveCode and Javascript is an important capability. This ReadTextFile example is a great addition as is your SaveTextFile example. I have examined and am impressed with your scripting in y...

Kangaroo:
This is tremendous work!
You are kind to share this example with the LiveCode community.
Thanks,

Fascinating!
Thanks for posting this elegant and informative stack.

I, too, have had a scrolling field that doesn't work well.
I downloaded your file and will spend some time looking at your solution.
Thank you for posting your stack.

I have the Script Reporter version 1.1 stack and am now using the version (1.2) from Bernd's link. I have always liked the Script Reporter (SR) app and have used it to produce searchable documents with all of the scripts in a stack. Handy for searching. Today I had an issue with a button that did no...

I put Bernd's code into a button: on mouseUp pButtonNumber put revIDEGetPreference("IDESingleLineMessageHistory") into field "MessageBox History" put the number of lines of field "MessageBox History" into field "Lines" end mouseUp The script stuffs the number of lines into another field. The results...

It seems there are two parts to this thread, 1) the correct snapshot rectangle and 2) how to attach an image to an email by script. 1) The globalLoc function will help you translate a local point to a screen coordinates. See the Dictionary. Below is a button script that takes a snapshot of a card an...
