The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

A really simple newbie function bug?

Asked by gekkomna in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: compilation, vbscript, microsoft

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/AddTextListOption.asp, line 57, column 4
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, strAField, strBField)
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
