Re: Resizing script editor variable pallets

My most wanted feature in the SE is a horizontal dividing line, similar to what Excel has, where I can create two independently scrollable "partitions". If I remember correctly, there was a time when the script editor had two resizable windows so you could watch the beginning and end of a long scri...

Re: message box covered with objects of some kind

I remember a forum thread on the topic of these "something" boxes but the search function does not allow the use of common words.
Out of luck.

Re: Card navigation - a warning

I tested my web-deployed WordHelper app (https://morrevbon.com/wordhelper.html)
and found that the arrow keys moved to a hidden second page.
The fix was easy.

Re: Front script only runs when a breakpoint is set

I commented out part of this line:

Code: Select all

if (the selectedField <> EMPTY) AND (the cControlType of the selectedField <> "label") then --AND (the ShowWarningWhenDeletingARecord of stack "dbdPreferences") then
The script worked subsequent to that edit.

Re: Front script only runs when a breakpoint is set

The problem is in line 3. I commented out the third condition and it works.
Focus your attention on line 3.

Re: Mixing HTML & LC

I think the problem is with the space character and the hyphen in the class:
Put "<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">"
Try putting an underscores in their places.

Code: Select all

...class="alert_alert_danger"...
Also make this change in the css definition (or wherever is used).
Hope that helps.

Re: Using launch command with LiveCode Server

I'll try again. If you enter this launch "/Applications/TextEdit.app" it won't work. You will get "no such program" returned. However, if you enter this launch "/System/Applications/TextEdit.app" it will start the app. I think this work with Apple's programs. When I try to open BBEdit.app this works...

Re: Combo box limitation ?

Combo boxes are only one menu type but an important one. Some menu types have peculiarities of their own. I put together an example stack to show examples of the various menu types (see below). I don't remember having previously figured out how to use a cascading menu so this was a good exercise for...
