Re: [PHP Template] Recursive hide behavior

looks like dan beat me. * autohide = yes/no specifies whether this section is hidden if it contains a variable without a value is the current definition. reading it literaly, sec1 would be hidden as well because it does in fact contact a variable without a value. (it just happens to be in another (nested?) section). i think there should be options to control the tree traversal (say that 5 times fast 8^) ) for hierachial hiding (2 uses of alliteration in one sentence, my god!) of sections. the finer grained the better, but not so as to impose a performance hit when not in use. 8^) avi On Mon, 28 Feb 2000, Dan Libby wrote: > My feeling is that it should not hide the parent by default.
