ASP If then else questions

Hello,



I am trying to use response.write in a if statement, and I want it to output to a specific column in my table.. when I place the if statment in the section I want it and run it I get a syntax error..
Can you please help

my code is a follows for the if statement. I am pulling a result from the SQL server if it matches I have my first response if it does not I have my second response. it sounded simple to me but I am having a boohoo of a time.. Thanks for your help


<% if (answerRS.Fields.Item("q1").Value) = "1" then
Response.write = "Correct"
Else Response.Write = "Incorrect"
End If%>

If you think I should outout to a text box and not a section in the table please let me know and if possible sample code would be helpful I am a newbie

 

try this

you can't write the response.write after IF or ELSE

 

try

<%
if (answerRS("q1")) = "1" then
Response.write ("Correct")
Else
Response.Write("Incorrect")
End If
%>

first line is just neater syntax, real error I thin was the "response.write =" . If that doesn't work post the syntax error

regards

 

yes sorry, didn't see the =

 

<%

if not answerRS.eof then
if (answerRS("q1")) = "1" then
Response.write ("Correct")
Else
Response.Write("Incorrect")
End If
end if
%>
