Shouldn't space or enter in a menu select the hilited item?
Hi all. Very odd, I thought this worked. I am programmatically popping up a menu, then I want to be able to jse the arrow keys to traverse the selections available. If I click any of the choices, the menuPick handler gets the choice as the first parameter. If however I use the spacebar or the enterKey to select a choice, the parameter is empty in menuPick! That isn't right, is it??

Re: Server globals
Hi Tim, I think there are many easy ways to do this - and many not-so-easy ones too. IMO, easiest for something simple like this is to just use the url. See tweedly.net/page_by_url.txt for the code, or try it out at tweedly.net/page_by_url.lc (or try tweedly.net/page_by_url.lc?row=14 ) You can do something very similar using a cookie, with the 'row' value stored in the cookie each time (remember to "put cookie ..." before *any* other output.) Or by using the cookie to hold the name of a file in which you store this kind of info. This is necessary if you need to store a lot of data - if there is not already a cookie, create a filename using something like uuid(), and store the file name in it - then retrieve the cookie, and read or write the file.

Re: Server globals
Hi Tim,
You can also use localStorage for user specific data at the browser level :
In your .lc script on the server :
to store
localStorage.jcf2 = '" &sDir& "'
and retrieve data
var jMem = localStorage.getItem('jcf2');
Regards,
JC

Re: Server globals
Hi Tim, the maximum size of a cookie is 4096 bytes. I am using Sitelok from Vibralogix on one site for a membership list. I've integrated it in a site i created with Rapidweaver. I am also using Livecode Server scripts on that site for several tasks including form processing. The good thing is that i can add my Livecode Server scripts to my Rapidweaver pages, either the whole script or only an include statement that includes the script. I just need to tell Rapidweaver to store that page with file extension .lc instead of .html. I also had a look at Reviginiter. Looks so powerful, but i have not enough time in a row to get used with it. So i have to stay with my Rapidweaver/Livecode server script solutions.
