Kay, this is more a general question about the skin; I am pretty sure labels and buttons allowed for more than one word to be displayed on them; but now I can't get anything past the first word to appear on either. Would that be because of a update or am I missing something?

When using spaces you have do surround the parameter's value in winset() with some kind of quotation.

winset(src,"mywindow.mylabel","text='Hello I am a label!'")

Ah, I noticed it when assigning variables as such:
winset(src,"window.label","text=[desc]")

So I'll have to change that to contain quotes inside the "text=" bit? Thank you.

This is also an option.

winset(src,"mywindow.mylabel","text=\"Hello I am a label!")

I personally know how to escape the quote, I just didn't think it was required for how I was setting it. It's just me being a dumb. Thanks for the additional option expansion, though. Encase anyone ever actually uses the search feature on Dev Help and has the same issue I presented.

I believe you could also url_encode() the text...?
