Closing line space in an ASP page

#1

:confused; I've created an ASP page that gives names and addresses of
contacts. In the page is there anyway to close line space if the information in
a field is empty?

Name
Add1
Add2
City, State zip

Example is in some records Add2 is empty can the "City, State, Zip" line move
up to close the space?

Thanks much for your help

Sure, it's easy. But since I have no idea what you're doing when you output
the addresses (line breaks, paragraphs, address tag, table cells), I have no
idea what to tell you.

Blah
<% endif %>

Thank you Murray for your answer... I'm still a bit confused though sorry. If
I have would I put your code in add2, so that it looks like this <% if
("add2")&"A" <>"A" %> ?


<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("Affiliation").Value )%> 
<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("Add1").Value)%> 
<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("Add2").Value)%> 
<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("City").Value)%>

Thank you for your help.

My reply was a bit truncated and a bit wrong. You would have to put the
recordset identification there too, e.g.,


<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("Affiliation").Value )%> 
<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("Add1").Value)%> 
<% if mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("Add2").Value & "A" <>"A" %>
<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("Add2").Value)%> 
<% end if %>
<%=(mmpwAttendees.Fields.Item("City").Value)%>

I think testing LEN(string) > 0 is probably better since VBScript is slow at
concatenation. LEN() returns 0 for both "" and NULL, so you should be good.
