Help: Does anyone use legacy message box behavior?

Hi Folks I’m in the midst of making the message box redirect work in all engines (https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/5156 ) and it would seem that there’s a legacy message box behavior that could be removed from the engine. It’s not used b

Re: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (javascript)?

I had the DNS caching problem in one project. We had to resort to the "?" trick. Without it, different computers or browsers would all load the older file, which usually didn't update for 24 hours. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |

RE: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (JavaScript)?

To refresh a browser cache I put an argument on the URL that is different from the last request and the cache will be invalidated. In LC I put "&seconds=12345678" at the end of the URL arguments or if there are no arguments then I put "?seconds=12345678" where "12345678" is the LC "the seconds". Th

Re: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (javascript)?

I see where you're going with that, and yeah I believe the mutating url would get around a dns cache. Cool!(you can also do it with #134143.. I believe. There were posts re: this in the forum way back.) On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 9:45 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.

Re: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (javascript)?

Right. But that is the browser cache. If you are talking about a url resolving to a different site, that is a function of DNS, which is totally separate from the browser cache the browser maintains. I do not think the browser is capable of bypassing DNS caching. But maybe I misunderstand the pr

Re: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (javascript)?

In an actual browser (at least as far as I know) one doesn't have to resort to tricks. Like in chrome, ctrl-f5 bipasses cache and reloads. More info here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 9:01 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists

Re: Different result in LC 6 to LC 8 when copying field text into Excel?

If it helps, it may be a Mac OS issue. If I open a text file exported from a Toshiba copier, like the address book let's say, then open it with a text editor like SimpleText, and then save it, I cannot reimport the text file. The copier thinks that the file is unreadable. This happens with other

Re: Converting scripts in stacks to script only stack behaviors

+1 The whole point, or one of the points to object oriented development was to de-centralize the code base. As stated in other posts it really comes down to how complex your app is. I have cards that can be used in any stack, and cards that are very specific to the app. Same with different stac

Re: Checking out the "Resources" button in LC9

I was thinking about some of the old deprecated/obsolete features (like the Resources), too. I think that some of those should be resurrected in 9, because they are things that a n00b might appreciate. Some of the SQL tools are one good example, like field binding. On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 5:47 AM

Re: Checking out the "Resources" button in LC9

LC 9 is a bit like a human being who has an appendix because millions of years ago his/her ancestors were eating a high fibre diet in the depths of the Pangean jungle: full of old, outdated stuff that has been overlooked in the relentess onward drive. Richmond. On Feb 5, 2017 8:18 PM, "William Pr
