I don't know what language that is but I'm guessing you want:

If vbtn==false then

VBScript?

I think it's ASP and you don't need "==" in that.

declare another variable and set it to an address if your statement is false.

You can have multiple statements between the start and end of your if statement. you seem to have a single if statement for everything you want to check, but that's beside the point.

set the variable then output it into a <a href> tag. (which will create a link).

does the code you've supplied work for the image?

It looks like classic asp to me and if so he doesn't need ==. OP what do you mean by link a site? Are you asking for a hyperlink to be displayed or for the page to redirect the user to another site.

Its classic Asp alright. I just the image to be hyperlinked to a site if the statement is false.

you want to create a string that has the image wrapped in a <a href> tag.
Here's what the html should look like:

<a href="www.boards.ie"><img src="../siteimgs/white_dot.gif"></a>

at this point in your code..

If vbtn=false then
strQABCImage="../siteimgs/white_dot.gif"

... you should construct the full string, I'm not well up on asp so maybe someone could help you with escape characters and things so when you want to enter double quotes in the string you're not actually closing the string.

I.S.T.

OP, I think you need to clarify exactly you are trying to do. I am confused and I think the others are also. Do you want to make the image into a link if vbtn is false?

sorry all,

that is correct I want to make the image into a link if vbtn is indeed false.

I would recommending putting as much of your server side code at the top of the page so you can separate the logic and markup as much as possible.

I've simplified the ASP a little, but if you're using the variables in other locations, this may not help.

<&#37;
Dim strQABCImage
strQABCImage = "<img src='../siteimgs/white_dot.gif' border='0'>"

If rsSearchRes.Fields("SupplierId").Value = "ABC" Then  strQABCImage="<a href='yourpage.asp'><img src='../siteimgs/white_dot.gif' border='0'></a>"
%>
<%=strQAMCImage%>
