Where is the documentation on using revlets on a site?

I opened some stacks created four or five years ago and the text field sizes seem to have shrunk slightly, cutting off text that was originally visible. I am using the same font -- the same font file in fact, copied from my old computer on which I originally wrote the stuff. Old and new are both ...

Dixie,

Many, many thanks!

I want to look for a word in a tab itemdel field and if found return the line the word was found in. I am using

repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in fld fA
set the cursor to busy
if item 1 of line i of fld fA = lookFor then
????????????????????????????????
exit repeat
end if
end repeat ...

Thanks again.

Great! and thanks. Now for a dumb question:
how do I get the text to display as formatted instead of with <tags>?

how do I script the copying of text in field of one stack to field in another stack keeping formatting of link text etc.?

How do I go through field fA copying only those lines that begin with a capital letter to field fB?

Changing the tab value in table fixed the problem. Thank you so much! I don't know how I managed to change that setting. My Momma said there'd be days like this...

This stack, when run on my computer at least, shows the way that tab in one field jumps to another field while tab in the other field inserts a tab in the text.

The extension rev is not allowed.

I've tried copying the two fields in question to a new stack and deleting all scripts, buttons etc. The behavior is the same: tab in one field cycles the cursor through other fields, tabbing in the other field inserts a tab into that field's text. There must be a simple answer to this.

I wanted to ...

If I create a mainstack with a field, pressing TAB in that field does nothing. If I do so in the "contents" view of the inspector for that field, the tabKey inserts a tab which is transfered to the field when I press ENTER in the contents field of the inspector. why?

I have a stack with two fields ...

I'm puzzled! Sometimes autoTab seems to work and sometimes it doesn't. When I put

put the autoTab of field myField into msg

I get the expected "true" or "false" and when I change the autoTab with

set the autoTab of field myField to true

the query

put the autoTab of field myField into msg ...

What is the setting that causes tab in a field to move the cursor to the next field rather than inserting a tab in the field itself?
