Strange Hyperlink with conditional if then else 1

[puterdude]

Hi,
I had some code generated by ultradev and I'm trying to put it inside a conditional statement. Because it has some asp brackets within it, I can't seem to get it to work.
This is the code:
<A HREF=&quot;allrec.asp?<%= MM_keepNone & MM_joinChar(MM_keepNone) & &quot;Qid2=&quot; & RS_password.Fields.Item(&quot;Qid2&quot.Value%>&quot;><b>Final Review & Submit</b></A>

I'd like to be able to do this:
<% if field1 = &quot;A&quot; then
<A HREF=&quot;allrec.asp?<%= MM_keepNone & MM_joinChar(MM_keepNone) & &quot;Qid2=&quot; & RS_password.Fields.Item(&quot;Qid2&quot.Value%>&quot;><b>Final Review & Submit</b></A>

else
response.write(&quot;You have not entered and A in field 1&quot
end if%>

I get an error, I believe, because of the inner bracketing.

Suggestions?

Thanks

I assume you know that this is Server side, not client side code. Pure HTML can't be inside <% %>. It can be inside a Response.write which is inside <% %>

<% if field1 = &quot;A&quot; then
   <A HREF=&quot;allrec.asp?<%= MM_keepNone & MM_joinChar(MM_keepNone) & &quot;Qid2=&quot; & RS_password.Fields.Item(&quot;Qid2&quot;).Value%>&quot;><b>Final Review & Submit</b></A>

else
response.write(&quot;You have not entered and A in field 1&quot;)
end if%>

should be

<% if field1 = &quot;A&quot; then ' Pure HTML follows %>
   <A HREF=&quot;allrec.asp?<%= MM_keepNone & MM_joinChar(MM_keepNone) & &quot;Qid2=&quot; & RS_password.Fields.Item(&quot;Qid2&quot;).Value%>&quot;><b>Final Review & Submit</b></A>


<%else
response.write(&quot;You have not entered and A in field 1&quot;)
end if%>
