Replace result value with an image

[meltingpot]

Im trying to replace the result field "first" with an image file, say GIF.

The field returns a true/false value. I would like to replace true with an image of a tick and the false with an image of a x .. can anybody help ?

<td class="dottedlines style1"><%=(course_pending.Fields.Item("First").Value)%></td>

quick bit of code

with response
   if value then
      .write "<img src='tick.gif' alt='True'>"
   else
      .write "<img src='cross.gif' alt='False'>"
   end if
end with

Chris.

This is what I would do:

Since you said 'course_pending.Fields.Item("First").Value' returns either a true or false and dependent upon that value determines what image gets shown in the <td>, do a terniary operator like this:

<td class="dottedlines style1">
[!]<%=((course_pending.Fields.Item("First").value ? "<img src='tick.gif' alt='True'>" : "<img src='cross.gif' alt='False'>")%>
[/!]
</td>

It's basically the same thing ChrisHirst put, it's just inline.

Tried ..but get the following error...
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0408)
Invalid character
/courses/c_app/course_allocate.asp, line 498, column 58
Response.Write(((course_pending.Fields.Item("First").value?"<img src='Last.gif' alt='True'>" : "<img src='First.gif' alt='False'>"))

Using the following code ....

<td class="dottedlines style1"><%=((course_pending.Fields.Item("First").value?"<img src='Last.gif' alt='True'>" : "<img src='First.gif' alt='False'>")%>
</td>

><td class="dottedlines style1"><%=((course_pending.Fields.Item("First").value?"<img src='Last.gif' alt='True'>" : "<img src='First.gif' alt='False'>")%>

[tt]<td class="dottedlines style1"><% if cbool(course_pending.Fields.Item("First").value) then response.write "<img src='Last.gif' alt='True'>" else response.write "<img src='First.gif' alt='False'>" %>[/tt]

note: keep it in one line in order to spare "end if".

OOPS, I need to look up my inline VBScript syntax, that was JScript.
