hi,
I've written up this function, however there is a bug in it and I have NO idea what it is! I just started ASP yesterday so I still havn't quite got the hang of all the little things yet.
This is the error message I get from MSIE:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A03F4)
Expected 'If'
/functions/AddTextListOpti
End Function
---^
Ive looked at other sources and snippets, i cant seem to find where ive gone wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
GM
function follows...
~~~~~~~~~~
FUNCTION AddTextListOption(strValue
SplitPoint = 50
Dim strCompiled
strCompiled = "<option value=""+ strValue +"">"
'
'SET THE RIGHT LENGTH FOR THE 1st HALF
'
If Len(strAField) > SplitPoint then 'cut it at SplitPoint
strAField = left(strAField, SplitPoint)
Else If Len(strAField) < SplitPoint then 'pad it out with spaces till SplitPoint
charcount = SplitPoint - Len(Value)
for i = 1 to (charcount - 1)
paddingA = paddingA & " "
next
strAField = strAField & paddingA
End If
'
'NOW THE SECOND HALF
'
If Len(strBField) > SplitPoint then 'cut it at SplitPoint
strBField = left(strBField, SplitPoint)
Else If Len(strBField) < SplitPoint then 'pad it out with spaces till SplitPoint
charcount = SplitPoint - Len(Value)
for i = 1 to (charcount - 1)
paddingB = paddingB & " "
next
strBField = strBField & paddingB
End If
strCompiled = strDesc & strAField & strBField & "</option>" 'the complete option string
AddTextListOption = strCompiled
End Function

No comment has been added lately, so it's time to clean up this TA.
I will leave a recommendation in the Cleanup topic area that this question is:
Accept Answer by lavinder
Please leave any comments here within the next seven days.
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT THIS COMMENT AS AN ANSWER!

Yay...
BTW, GaryC123, I think a good answer to all of these unresolved posts is to revoke the user's membership. After all, they signed up for this stuff, read the TOS, etc.
If they can't even answer their own post, their membership should be automatically revoked with a cleanup question, since it wastes my time, the other people who answered the questions' time, and your time.
Please forward this on for consideration - this is a PLAGUE. ;o)
If it makes you feel better whammy, I just found your comment extremely useful...almost 6 years later. I've been coding mostly VS 2008 and 2003 lately, and was just trying to reconfigure a bunch of legacy apps for an NT Server migration to this century. Couldn't figure out why I was getting the expected IF error. I know legacy has to be ElseIf, and yet in spite of that I didn't recognize it there the first 100 times I read the code. So thanks!
