Problem with DontWrap plus announcement

Very much like them. In some respects, mine is better,
in other respects theirs is better. Example they allow
you to manipulate the tables interactively, while mine
does not. Mine creates a set of fields instead. A bit
of a hack, but it does the trick. Rowspans & colspans
are implemented by deleting one+ fields and stretching
the existing ones. The code I generate is impeccable,
though ; much better than any HTML-generating tools I
have ever experienced.

This is still a work-in-progress. Maybe a simple post
command would do the trick. It would/will if/when my
RPC stuff was/is ready. In XML-RPC the payload posted
can be anything you wish, including binary files. Does
anyone here have any suggestion(s) for me on how to
implement a file-transfer capability from within MC ?

Thank you. I *will* take a bow on this one. ;-)

Or someone else who cares too, e.g. it's open source.

I have *NOT* achieved this capability *AT ALL*. The
pgm creates the JavaScript it needs for some simple
operations, like rollovers for example. Btw it's an
awesome IDEA though that I hope someone pursues.

Mapping HyperTalk and JavaScript is a monumental task,
perhaps even un-do-able because the DOM of the web and
the 'headspace' of HyperCard are *radically*
different.

Thank you for encouraging me, Alejandro. :)

Stay tuned for more news and a release.  :))
