If then not working

[TheConeHead]

This seems like it should woork but is not:

I am finding two variable, say var1 and var 2, I then do:

...if var1 = var2 Then%>
...display a certain image...
<%Else%>
...display another image...
<%End If....

it only displays one image no matter what. I know they variables are getting created/grabbed correctly. When I change the = to <> it shows the other image, so it is working in some sense but not as it should.

Does anything leap out as being wrong?

Do a response.write and write the values of the variables to the web page. I am guessing that if the code is right then the variables must be the issue. You may not be getting the results you think you are.

 

[TheConeHead]

The variables are correct - that's what is throwing me off

Are the variables floating point ie, 9.25 = 9.25
This will sometimes cause a problem.

If so, simply put Round(var1,2) = Round(var2,2) instead

no not floating point....

 

[boflexson]

Can you provide a sample of what is in Var1 and Var 2.

var1 is simply an integer grabbed via a request.QueryString and var 2 is 0 and then is changed via a while loop - here it is at a greater scale:

<%
Dim var2
var 2 = 0;
While finder > 0
If var1 = var2 Then%>
...display a certain image...
<%Else%>
...display another image...
<%End If
finder = finder+1
var2 = var2+10
Wend
%>

Finder is a variable developed based on a number of records in a db

So you'll only expecting a match if var1 = a multiple of 10, is that correct?

 

[TheConeHead]

yeah kinda

 

[strongm]

Well, with the current code that's the only time you're going to get a match and therefore successfully &quot;display a certain image&quot; as opposed to &quot;display another image&quot;
