The On-Rev playground
Jacqueline Landman Gay
My company site doesn’t allow me much latitude to play and experiment. RunRev’s new On-Rev server technology does, so here we are.
As I tinker, some of it will end up here. There is also some non-Rev material, a little writing, which you can find in the links at the right. And then there's the birds, of course.
The code examples work and they're real. Other than that, I wouldn’t take anything here too seriously if I were you.

From the mailing list
| Jacque: | I've got an interface problem I can't decide how to solve, maybe some of you have ideas. (Describes problem.) |
| Craig: | I recommend asking Jacque. She always knows what to do. |
| Stephen: | I sense recursion on this topic. |
| Jacque: | It's true I have been known at times to be somewhat loopy. |
| Devin: | So is Jacque. |
| Mark: | I sense recursion on this topic. |
Mailing list tech support haiku
| Dar: | I would like to tab in LiveCode comments this fall. Or will I cry still? |
| Jacque: | Tab has always been The way to format scripting. Can you use spaces? |
| Devin: | Pressing the tab key Creates order from chaos. No reason to change. But a tab key press In B B Edit or Word Does not work the same. |
| Jacque: | A pref'rence perhaps Could provide an exception, For those who differ. |
| Jerry: | Technical support In an ongoing haiku. Gotta love this group! |
| Martin: | how about a shift with tab, a new behaviour then are all happy? on tabkey -- how's this if the shiftkey is down then --the new behaviour else -- align the script --the current function will run end if -- if is done end tabkey -- handler --a highly nontrivial --plan or possible? |
Mailing list warning
Be careful! There are some things you can do with 'do' but can't send with 'send'. Also, as I recall, not all you can 'call' can lend itself to 'send'. I've seen things that 'do' did but sent d'n't. Also, a sending pending is not the same as a do doing since a pending sending is not done as is a done 'do'. So, unless I need pending, I do do instead of sending a send.-- Dar
