Hi there <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

Gotta question here .

In my table I get the dynamic text of my database (title)

Now I wan't to let that Dynamic text (title to to 2 things depending on a condition)

I want it to check for the URL field "is there data in it" then I will follow the URL specified in that field (like an news item on an other website) but... If there is no data in the URL field I want it to go a detailed page (detail.asp?ID=....).

I have fixed the problem with the conditional region with ICONS the first Icon links to the link specified in the URL field.

The right Icon links to the default page .

So I wan't it to combine this two icons in 1 action .

I think its possible but Im not good at If & Else statements .

Somebody please help me!!!

many thnax in advance

&lt;% ELSE %&gt;
&lt;a HREF="thedetailpage.asp?"ID=&lt;%=(rsRecordset.Fields.Item("ID".Value)%&gt;&lt;%=(rsRecordset.Fields.Item("title".Value)%&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;% end if %&gt;

Basically, create the link as you would normally, going to the value in the link field. Also create it as if you were going to a detail page - right next to it so you have 2 ogether., Then split them up with the IF THEN statement.. The IF is saying, IF there is something in the link field, THEN go to the link shows, ELSE go to a detail page.
