hi,

have the following link to a page

Code: 
<a href=<%Response.Write "custaddmot.asp?motdate=" & Server.URLEncode(motdate) & "&motid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_motid)%> target="_blank" onClick="
window.open(this.href, this.target, 'height=500,width=480,status=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no');
return false;">FREE</a>

i want to add an if...then statement that lets page open link if hoursleft > 0 else a popup box that says there are no more hours left

so far...

Code: 
<a href=<%if hoursleft > 0 then Response.Write "custaddmot.asp?motdate=" & Server.URLEncode(motdate) & "&motid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_motid)%> target="_blank" onClick="
window.open(this.href, this.target, 'height=500,width=480,status=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no');
return false;"><%Response.Write "javascript:alert('No Hours Left');" End If %>FREE</a>

this brings up a vbscript error
please ay ideas welcome

what do you mean disappeared...can you do a response.write on your variable hoursleft and see what its value is...
also make sure that javascript is enabled...

make sure that you have:

onClick="window.open(this.href, this.target,'height=500,width=480,status=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no');return false;">

on a single line without any carriage returns or spaces...
