Weird ASP Error

Hello people,

I am having a weird error and don't know what term to search in
google. Sorry to bother.

There is data in my field "M_BIO"

When I run this code <%=rslist.Field s.Item("M_bio") .Value%>, it
displays the data, no problem.

When I used this code:
<% If rslist.Fields.I tem("M_bio").Va lue <> "" then
response.Write( "Testing")
End If %>

It displays 'testing', no probs.
But when I run this code:

<% If rslist.Fields.I tem("M_bio").Va lue <> "" then
response.Write( rslist.Fields.I tem("M_Bio").Va lue)
End IF %>

It displays nothing, the page shows no error. Does anyone know the
reason.
Help would be appreciated.

What does this do?

<%
If rslist.Fields.I tem("M_bio").Va lue <> "" then
response.Write( rslist.Fields.I tem("M_Bio").Va lue)
Else
"Hmm empty value. Must be something else going on here."
End IF
%>

And do you have an On Error Resume Next in your code? If so, be sure you
comment it out while debugging.

I suspect it has a NULL value? Perhaps try this instead:

<% If Len(rslist.Fiel ds.Item("M_bio" ).Value) > 0 Then
Response.Write( "Testing")
End If

If it had a null value this would be expected. :)

Or I guess if it were a string of spaces. Have you tried debugging by
using Response.Writes in your IF/THEN segement? Something like:

<%
Response.Write rslist.Fields.I tem("M_bio").Va lue & "<br>"
If rslist.Fields.I tem("M_bio").Va lue <> "" then
Response.Write "Value is not empty<br>"
response.Write( rslist.Fields.I tem("M_Bio").Va lue)
End IF
%>

What does this produce:

IF isNull(rslist.F ields.Item("M_b io").Value) THEN
response.write "Value is Null"
ELSE
response.write "Value is not Null
END IF

The field may contain Null which is not equivalent to ""

For that matter, if you are viewing the output in a browser, the contents
could be viewable in the source but not displayed. I wonder how this turns
out:

Response.Write( Server.HTMLEnco de(rslist.Field s.Item("M_bio") .Value))

There is no ON ERROR RESUME NEXT. I am using Ultradev code.

If i add ' Else Response.Write "hello" ' it doesnt' go to else. But If
i add 'response.write "hello' under the If statement, it does.

<%

It display "Hello" only. I F5 the page, even restarted the PC.

Perhaps you value is a space, which would not equal "" then.

<%
If rslist.Fields.I tem("M_bio").Va lue <> "" then
response.Write "DATAHERE" & (rslist.Fields. Item("M_Bio").V alue) &
"DATATHERE"
Else
'"Hmm empty value. Must be something else going on here."
response.write "test"
End IF
%>

What does that return?
DATAHEREDATATHE RE or DATAHERE DATATHERE. (Look in view-source for real
value.)

Hi peter,

There seems nothing wrong with the IF statement, it goes inside the IF
statement. So the len > 0 is passed.

It does display Response.write "testing" but not
response.Write( rslist.Fields.I tem("M_Bio").Va lue)

Below is the code:

<% If len(rslist.Fiel ds.Item("M_bio" ).Value) > 0 then
response.write "testing"
response.Write( rslist.Fields.I tem("M_Bio").Va lue)
else
response.write "hello"
End IF %>

It shows "testing" only but not the "m_bio" data.

I dont' think anything wrong with the "M_BIO" field becoz direct

response.Write( rslist.Fields.I tem("M_Bio").Va lue) works.
Basically my code is MM Ultradev's listdetail code.

Thanks

Try putting the value in a temp variable before the if statement. There is
an old old problem with memo fields that is resolved that way. Also, if the
value is NULL that is not the same as an empty string.
strBio = rslist.Fields.I tem("M_bio").Va lue
If isnull(strBio) then strBio = ""
If strBio <> "" then
response.Write( strBio )
Else
"Hmm empty value. Must be something else going on here."
End IF
