I’m not entirely sure if my approach works in all situations Unfortunately, your approach does not work for modal stacks . The field is focused and the insertion beam is blinking, but when you start typing nothing enters the field. You still have to click it to make it receive key strokes. This is ...

OK, now I have updated code that works in all tested browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome). You can copy it directly from here: https://wheninspace.com/test/modal/ Implement it as in my first post. Note though, that modal generally does not work as expected in web deployment. The modal mode is supposed...

Ha, well, yeah, working in Firefox and Safari on Mac, and Safari on iOS. NOT working in Chrome on Mac.
So we're not quite done with this one yet.
I'll be back!

Hi igalperry, Ouf, it took the better part of an evening to trouble-shoot that one, but I (and ChatGPT) FINALLY found a solution that seems to work well. Only a physical tab key press seems able to actively shift the focus, and that can't be simulated as the browser prevents it. So it had to be a Ja...

Indeed! "Send" is a command and needs a handler name as argument. "exit mouseUp" is not, an can never be, a handler name.

That script works as intended for me, using LC10.0.1-rc-3 and 9.6.13-rc-1 on a Mac Studio running Sequoia 15.5.

I have in the past viewed a way to set the Android keyboard to a "Sentence" option. Essentially when a key is pressed, the character will automatically set the case to uppercase. I have searched the dictionary for "Keyboard" but can't seem to find the information I need. Search for autoCapitalizati...

What is the relevance of Javascript in a Livecode forum? It is of great relevance if you want to extend LiveCode's capabilities to things that is normally out of its scope. Since a long time, you've been able to run javascript in LiveCode by simply calling it through do [javascript code] with "java...

This works perfectly well for me: answer file "Select file" set the URL of widget "MyBrowser" to "file:" & it If you still get a blank browser, then delete the browser widget and add a fresh one. It can get stuck somehow, especially if you've gone forth and back between setting the url and setting t...

This simplification works:
The result value is then 15.

Well, I'm happy this solved it for Martin-HC's case, but I'm afraid it's not a complete workaround for all cases. As can be gleaned from the last sentence of my last comment on that bug report: "I've tried putting in a "wait x secs with messages" to give some breathing space, but that has not preven...

What did you select in the "Look in" menu?

The "Replace" controls get disabled if you have selected anything but "Current tab" or "All tabs". It's always been like this, as far as I know.

Yes, it's probably simple statistics - words occurring above a certain frequency threshold would cause too many hits, which this ancient forum framework couldn't handle. But I find the search function generally crappy anyway, so I always just prepend a google search by "site:https://forums.livecode....

That's impressive work, Rolf!
Very handy in web deployments. Thanks a lot!
