Menu Builder: This is not an anomaly but what we need to use shift-chars (that is you need shift to have it) or alt-chars (that is you need option/alt to have it) or both. For example, if you have a key on your keyboard that has "/" as lower char and "?" as shift-char. Then builder: cmd + "/" --> fi...

HTML5: Native PlainText Fields (basic example) The attached stack has a script of 90 lines. This includes (beside comments) all you need for creating an input field (one line) and a textarea. Both display plain text only but with all usual keyboard features (UTF-8 and cmd-A/C/V/X/Z) and drag&drop. ...

@Richmond. Of course a "playground" (will become soon a primitive IDE) doesn't look like a LiveCode stack. The purpose of my HTML5 examples is to show some aspects of what is possible to have in HTML5 standalones. All examples were made parallel to the evolving features of HTML5 deployment since 201...

This is a demo for at least medium advanced developers. (Honestly, I expect you to have such a level.)

In order to test with LC 9.0.5 or later simply hit the button TEST of the LC toolbar . Optionally select a browser different from the default browser of your OS from menu Development > Test Target. Then LC opens your standalone with a (newly generated) local server using files generated in the tempo...

@FourthWorld
You also made recently a great fuss about posts (related to karmacomposer) that didn't "hit" the topic.
What has your question to do with the current topic?

Yes, it is possible. Here is a native rich text field: http://hyperhh.de/html5/HTML5Field_v106-9.5.0X.html And here http://hyperhh.de/html5/html5IDE.html are native plain text fields (still a bit slow because these are six standalones): the scriptEditor, the properties field of the property inspecto...

Yes, Dick hit the nail on the head. Using true for arrays "as set" simplifies and fastens the check for being an element of "combined" (mathematical) sets tA and tB: if tA[tKey] is true: tKey is element of tA if tA[tKey] and not tB[tKey] is true: tKey is element of the difference tA \ tB if tA[tKey]...

It is not possible using LC alone.

But you can (among a lot of other features) add AcroForms by using javaScript (via a browser widget) and the library pdfkit https://github.com/foliojs/pdfkit.

Yes, even basic things like getting modifiers, scroll a field and more-than-7bit-ascii keyboard support are still missing. So, currently one needs some javascript code to get a medium advanced stack running in HTML5. (I wrote some free helpers for that.) On the other hand you have the option to take...

... looking forward to see how this progresses ... Please see http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2019-November/257430.html ... have this added to the CodeMirror modes list ... Marijn Haverbeke, the author of CodeMirror, wrote in 2016 that they stopped accepting new modes for the main di...

You could try on textchanged.

You could try to do the check for the terms as innermost, not as outer loop: on mouseup lock screen; lock messages put the milliseconds into ms put fld "words" into terms put field "IN" into strng repeat for each line L in strng add 1 to nl; put 0 into nw repeat for each word W in L add 1 to nw if W...

html5IDE v_105 alpha (Dec 03, 2019: added import of local images) This is a LC-playground in the browser with 'integrated' propertyInspector (html5PI)*, dictionary (html5Dict)*, scriptEditor (html5SE)*, tools (html5IDE main). It works with Chrome, Safari (fastest) and Firefox (slowest) on Mac, Wind...
