I'm not really sure if this question relates ASP or Java, that's how unknowledable I am.

After a user enters information on my enterinfo.asp page they get directed to a preapproval page that shows what they entered in a nice new layout for their approval before it actually gets submitted to my database.

My question is:

How can I make it so that if a specific field is "Yes" then it will show a specific cell with a background color other than white.

I am sure it has something to do with and if then else statement, just not sure how to write it.

Please help.

PS this site has been wonderful. I will have to mention it someplace on my own when it is done.

<%
Dim cellColour, confirm

'get confirm from where ever it comes from

IF confirm = "yes" THEN
 cellColour = "bgcolor='#0000CC'"
END IF
%>

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table width="30%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td <% = cellColour %> >test</td>

'get confirm from where ever it comes from

that would probably be something like:

confirm = Request.form("confirm")

or

confirm = Request.form("FIELD_NAME")

Thanks to the both of you.  I think I am on the right track but came up with this error.

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/in_work/add_listings_to_database2.asp, line 59 

Dim cellColor, confirm = Request.form("satellite")
-----------------------^
Any ideas?
 
Thanks.
