I am trying to hide a row is a field is empry but i am have a small problem. This is my code:

<% If <%=(showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value)%> <> "" Then %>
<tr>
<td width="81" valign="top" align="left"><b>Comments:</b> </td>
<td><%=(showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value)%></td>
</tr>
<% End If %>

The if statement works because if <%=(showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value)%> = "" then the row is hiden and if it does not equal "" then the row is shown. The problem I am having is that when i add this If statement the <%=(showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value)%> that is within the table does not show. I can not figure why it is doing this.

Thanks for any of your help

Youve just nested ASP code and it doesnt like that...!

try this.,


<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;% If showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value &lt;&gt; "" Then %&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td width="81" valign="top" align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Comments:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;%=(showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value)%&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;% End If %&gt;

Cheers,

leed, I tried what you said and it is still doing the same thing ... if "Show Comments" = "" then it is hidden but if it is not then the row is shown but the &lt;%=(showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value)%&gt; is not.

any other suggestions?

Try:

&lt;% If (showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value) &lt;&gt; "" Then %&gt;

Peace

"EFFICIENCY IS INTELLIGENT LAZINESS." --DUNHAM

still does the same thing ... all three:

&lt;% If &lt;%=(showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value)%&gt; &lt;&gt; "" Then %&gt;
&lt;% If showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value &lt;&gt; "" Then %&gt;
&lt;% If (showmaster.Fields.Item("Show Comments".Value) &lt;&gt; "" Then %&gt;

they all do the same thing. and the If command works properly. it just that the Dynamic Text within the statement doesnt show.

any other suggestions???

thanks
joe
