Okay “status” has to be a reserved word because it is a built in property of a player object. Why does LC allow you to use it as a handler? Bob S On Mar 11, 2021, at 7:54 AM, Mark Wieder via use-livecode mailto:use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>> wrote: On 3/11/21 7:41 AM, Martin Koob via

Thank you to everyone for help in resolving this issue. The syntax for determining if tArray[“status”] contains data or an array appears to be either: If the value of tArray[“status”] is not empty // contains data or If tArray[“status”] is not an array // contains data If I remember

As a print device specialist, I can tell you that printing directly from a web browser, be it a PDF or a web page or anything, is problematic. It is ALWAYS better to produce a PDF then print from a real PDF product. Web browsers give you printing as an afterthought. “Oh you want to print too??

Tom hopefully I’ve set this email not to hijack Harry’s thread. First thing to note is that LC ONLY structures arrays as tVar[0][0][0]... But equally we can use, for example, tVar[x][y][z] or tVar[x,y,z] or even tVar[x,y,z][u,v,w][r,s,t] However, know that, if x=1, y=“two”, z=true then
