I want to display an image for an e-mail link if the person who signed my guestbook gave an e-mail address I wrote the script bel;ow but it does not work it just displays the image whether there is an e-mail address or not. Why doesnt this work?

If rsGuestbook("Email") = "" THEN Response.Write (" ") ELSE Response.Write ("<a href=""" & rsGuestbook("Email") & """><img src=""images/email.gif"" width=""100"" height=""20""></a>") END IF

what happens if you do RESPONSE.WRITE(rsGuestbook("Email") ) before your if statement, if the isnt an email address for that user. i.e is there nothing?

"ultramods" was on about whether a user that was suppose to have no email address may actually have something stored in the email field for their record in the database. which would cause "If rsGuestbook("Email") = "" " not to work. I think its called testing-starting from the top and working down. If that test failed then another could be carried out.
