Thanks for verifying it Paul, that's what I was thinking too. I'm looking at replacing the sizes via the style runs, I have a handler Mark Waddingham gave me/us on the list last year that I think I can modify. But I'd be grateful to see yours too. No big hurry, I just need to get an idea of

You have to do replacement of the size value in the field's htmlText (or perhaps styledText) I have code that does this. I can provide it to you if you like. I don't claim it is the bets or most effiecent. Unfortunately, I am gone for the rest of today, s tomorrow is the earliest I could send

Hi Jaque, A lot will depend: 1) Whether the changes in font size within the nested HTML tags have been set locally or ‘more properly' as relative to the root font size of the page in ‘rem’, where 1 rem = 100% of the root font-size). 2) you want a global font-size adjustment or more granular. If

Jacque, It sounds like the HTML tags are setting the size for runs of text in the field, so you can’t just set the textSize of the field? Are there varying sizes of text runs in the field? Could you set the textSize of the char 1 to -1 of the field to empty, then set it for the whole field? In

OIC you are searching arrays to obtain your IDs. That would make sense because arrays are memory based. SQL is file based as in sqLite, or else accessed (typically) over a network which would account for the speed disparity. Of course, to be fail, you will have to add the time to search the

I know that typically cmd +/- (or ctrl for Win) will increase or decrease the zoom of a web page. You can try that, or else use a browser widget. (I wonder if that trick would work in a widget?? It should...) Bob S > On May 20, 2022, at 09:32 , J. Landman Gay via use-livecode > wrote: > >

I have a field whose HTMLtext is set to a heavily tagged HTML file that changes the font size repeatedly. We want to allow the user to adjust the size of the text. The easiest way would be to use percentages for the font sizes so that changing the field's textsize would change the markup

You can save some characters by the following: SELECT ... FROM myTable WHERE id IN (5523,7831,162814,34895,...) which is the same as using multiple OR equals in your example. If you need to break this up further, you can UNION the results of multiple queries, such as: SELECT ... FROM
