Hi Tim,
Why would you want to do this? To make a field empty, just put empty
into the field and if you want you can test that it is empty:
put empty into fld 1
put (fld 1 is empty) --> true
This clears the text, the htmlText,
Not exactly: "put empty into fld 1" still leaves "<p><p/>" in the field,
OR, at least when one does something like this:
put the htmlText of fld 1 into fld 2
one ends up with "<p><p/>" in fld 2.
Richmond.
the unicodeText and the rtfText of the field. Why would you want to
test that only the htmlText is empty?

since <p></p> is in fact the HTML equivalent to "empty/no text" I

Thanks Klaus, I thought I should check on that before putting in a
bug report. It seemed too obvious to have been missed.
It does create an odd condition by Livecode standards however that
you can set the htmlText to empty, then immediately test if the
htmlText is empty and it returns false. I suspect that could confuse
some people.
Out of curiosity, do you know how "something" ( <p></p> ) came to be
regarded as equivalent to empty?
