If Else If

I am trying to create an if else statement using ASP/ VBScript

When I use the following syntax:

<% If (rsSiteDetail.Fields.Item("OpenToPublic").Value) = "1" then Response.Write "Open to the Public"%>

This appears to work fine. When the Field OpentoPublic has a 1, it prints the statement and when it does not, it does not print it.

But I want to be able to choose between 3 settings. So I tried the following syntax:

<% If (rsSiteDetail.Fields.Item("OpenToPublic").Value) = "1" then Response.Write "Open to the Public"
                                                [Elseif (rsSiteDetail.Fields.Item("OpenToPublic").Value) = "2" then [Response.Write "Viewable from Street"]
                                                [Elseif (rsSiteDetail.Fields.Item("OpenToPublic").Value) = "0" then [Response.Write "Not Open to Public"]
%>

This results in the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'Elseif (rsSiteDetail.Fields.Item("OpenToPublic").Value) ...'

Any suggestions? I have tried various placements of [] but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Thanks

Why not use a simple switch-case statement ?

The structure of If...ElseIf...Else is as under:

If [Condition1] then
'Do following

elseif [Condition2] then
'Do following

else
'Do following

end if

If the "If" statement is only one line statement, then you dont need to add end if at the end.
