Thank you, Mark. Bookmarked.
LiveCode makes it so easy to take things like text editing for granted.

Of course by setting anchors and jumping via URL to there.
But you don't mean that, so:
No.

Hi Klaus,
this is dangerous because the code could have "mixed" encodings
if you (or your partner) edits the code in texteditors with
different encoding settings.
I looked again carefully into your first post.
You use the htmltext of the widget, so your original code is correct.
It works here as
Hi all,
can we (v)scroll a browser widget via scipt?
Did not find a clue/property in the dictionary.

Well, even if nothing else, it gives an impression that the folk at

reasonably expected in the near future.

Of course one could say "I know features/repairs that

I hope not.
If it were up to me I'd ditch it altogether.
Just saw it now, overlooked that first:

But why using files?

you can make it "mirroring" a text

yes, BBEdit shows "Unicode (UTF-8)" in the bottom bar.

Thanks for your great ideas Hermann. In my next experiment I think I'll
start by looking for any scrabble tile by looking for its [known]
background color, and then work out to its edges. That should give me
both the grid cell size and a starting point for discovering all cells
in the grid.

In those cases the selection change is a side effect of something else. The
user isn’t changing the selection, the user is doing something else that
changes the selection. As this thread covered, the textchanged message is sent.
I think it fully makes sense to only send one of those two

Hi all,
macOS 10.14.6, LC 9.5
I have a file created with BBEdit with this content:

Then I set the url of a browser widget to that file.
All fine so far...
Now I want to add some more text
I just got an email about this pdf-ocr converter. I haven't tried it
myself, but for the $15 price drop for a lifetime license it seems worth
checking out. Should be possible to invoke a (OSX) shell command to do
the conversion.
The usual caveats about ocr accuracy apply, of course.
The silence is deafening. :-(

Replace the last part of your handler with the following.
variable tBNum as Number
variable tBCenters as List
put tBigRad - tLilRad into tInnerRad
put the number of elements in mData into tBNum
put regularPoints([tBNum,tInnerRad,tBigX,tBigY]) into tBCenters
repeat with tButtonNumber from 1 up to
I disagree. Having these commands allows developrs to precicely control what
happens during a drag and drop operation, or to prevent drag and drop if they
want to.
