You focused on the wrong part of what I said. Previous to this RC<br>
errorstring was undefined, which allowed me to wrap my previous code<br>
in an 'if (defined ...' block. Now it's defined, but empty (or has<br>
spaces, or doesn't, whatever). That's much worse, as now I have to<br>
do a string compare.<br>

We appear to have a problem establishing simple matters of fact.<br>

No, I keep hoping that I don't have to spell out everything in nauseating detail. :)<br>

The current state with the 1.06-RC is that the field is empty, but the variable is defined. That means that I can't just wrap my error-checking routine in 'is (defined ...' I now have to do a string compare. (In fact it's worse than that, I have to do both.)

Also, you ignored the other issues that I raised in my previous message about errorstring. It would be great if you could respond to those as well.</blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">I have better things to do<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
