sys_editlivedynamic and #field_if_set

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion
1

Hi - I am using a sys_editlivedynamic to allow users to enter some optional html. Testing this I found that the field value is never empty because RX puts in a div or p tag as soon as the box is activated. Even if I manually erase them in the code pane they return.

So how can one tell if the field is empty?

Hi Mike

Which version of Rhythmyx are you using?

We had this issue when after upgrading from 6.5 to 6.5.1 and Percussion sent us a patch. You can also create a new macro based on #field_if_set that checks for the values that the control puts in.

Cheers
James

I believe we are still running on 6.5. Do you have a sample of the macro?

thanks a bunch from a RX newbee
