Ignoring the FMP:If tag!?!?!?

Ok... this is strange, maybe somebody has seen this before....

I have a page with a bunch of CDML... everything works correctly, but all If tags seem to fail! If I put in:

[FMP-If: ClientAddress.neq.bull.nonsense.blahcom]

Hi, Keith!

[FMP-Else] This is what shows up!

[/FMP-If]

the if test fails, and I always see the "else" html. If there is no else section, then nothing displays at all. Any ideas? I've tried a bunch of different samples from web pages of "valid" samples, but none of them work. EVERYTHING else loads fine on the page... fields, popups, etc.

Any ideas at all?

Could this be a difference in the syntax of the if statement between versions 4 and 5 of filemaker???

The IF tag is not being ignored, FMP is following your logic. Perhaps you might try:

[FMP-If: clientaddress.eq.bull.balderdash.com]

I just had a quick fiddle and FMP5 does work with this. One way to find out what is going on is to put a [FMP-ClientAddress] tag on your layout and see what claient address is really being seen by web companion. It may be illuminating!
