I have code that effectively does:

MyLabel.Caption := 'One';
MyLabel.Caption := MyLabel.Caption + #10 + 'Two';
MyLabel.Caption := MyLabel.Caption + #10 + 'Three';

On Chrome I get:

Three
Two
One

On IE 10 I get:

Three
TwoOne

Thoughts?

From someone who is almost totally ignorant of EWB, JavaScript et al ...

Maybe use #13#10 (CR/LF)  instead of  just #10 ?

I wish I could, but this project is going to be used by random people, and some
will have IE.

I have indeed tried variants around this. The help says that linefeeds are
supported, but not the exact character. I presume #10 which I'm fairly sure from my
days of modems* is LF.

programmers came in to the office, and saw our ASCII chart on the wall. She said
she didn't need one of those any more as she knows her alphabet.

Matthew,

What you want is #13+#10 (CRLF).  That should work on Chrome/FF and IE.

Thanks, but that doesn't work either. Checking the IE debugger, it shows that the
text is

five
<br/>
fourthreetwoone

In Chrome, the text is a simple list

five
four
three
two
one

The actual code is a button, which takes the text of an edit box and puts it in the
label. I want to keep a record of what was typed/sent. A list won't work so well in
iOS for the purpose.

lblSubmitted.Caption := szConceptText + #13 + #10 + lblSubmitted.Caption;

I've done a workaround now, with a list, and rebuilding the text each time. I could
actually just use a string probably - it will be the reading back of the value that
fails I guess.

   for nLoop := 0 to m_xSubmitList.Count - 1 do
       szBuild := szBuild + m_xSubmitList[nLoop] + #13 + #10;

Also note that the #13 isn't actually needed.

This works in the 1.03 candidate code:

  Label1.Caption := 'One';
  Label1.Caption := Label1.Caption + #10 + 'Two';
  Label1.Caption := Label1.Caption + #10 + 'Three';

I've made some changes to how line feeds/non-printable characters are
handled in the compiler, so that may have fixed it.

The good thing about EWB is that it is quite usable as is, so delays don't matter
really (for me, at least).

Matthew,

Yeah, it's sitting here waiting for release, but it's waiting on the new
ElevateDB changes to allow for ANSI/Unicode usage within the same process.
I can't compile ElevateDB into EWB in its current state. Those changes, in
turn, are needed because of the upcoming web server switch to an off-site
data center, which is going to require a reduction in the number of
ElevateDB downloads that need to get uploaded with each new build.  I'm
dealing with a 1 depends upon 2 depends upon 3 depends upon 4 type of
situation right now. Smile

Thanks for everyone's patience, and it shouldn't be much longer.
