Re: LC Server style survey: co-mingle code w/HTML?

PHP is definitely the most popular language for letting you code this way, but then it is pretty much only for the web unlike most other languages. Other languages can work this way too - e.g. Python has PSP, Java has JSP as does Ruby, Lua etc. but not as popular as PHP. Carpe diem *Simon

Hi Richard, I regularly mix both .lc scripts and HTML. I liked the original LC Web-Plugin with the exception of the very scary download message that was forced upon us all without any option to tone it down a bit. Once the mothership decided to abandon it, it was doomed. It was still great for

Re: LC Server style survey: co-mingle code w/HTML?

Personally I do prefer to mix HTML / code together. I don't think it right to say it is a PHP way to do things though :) - PHP does not encourage one to go this route for what I think is usually called spaghetti code. While some platforms, like WordPress have done quiet a bit to encourage this

Hi friends, before I create a report, can someone please confirm that we cannot use the "swatches" at the bottom of the Mac color chooser? Clicking them does nothing, we have to"re-create" the color with the sliders (or Crayons or whatever we choose for selecting a color). Works of course in

Tom, The other option is to use mobTableField (I think Bernd is the author) if you don't need all the bells and whistles of the DG. I'm using both in different mobile apps. The original DG works fine even for large DG's with horizontal and vertical scrolling, but MTF is even more responsive. ETA

Thank you Andre, The fact that one of the bottlenecks is in waiting for the database to get the data back is what I was targeting. If LC just sends a request to a different program, and that program spawns a new thread for each request, then LC is free to keep working. In this way, LC would be
