Classic ASP vb syntax question pt 2

Hi,

then a separate function makes even more sense:

<%
test="1,3,7,9,10" 

if checkIT(test,"1","2")  then
%>
<div class="nav">Nav bar</div>
<%
end if
%>


<%
' functions are typically at the top or bottom of your page.
function checkIT(user_type,valueToCheckInclude, valueToCheckExclude)
     checkInclude=false
     checkExclude=true
     arrUsertype=split(user_type,",")
     for each number in arrUsertype
          if cstr(number)=cstr(valueToCheckInclude) then
               checkInclude=true
         end if
         if cstr(number)=cstr(valueToCheckExclude) then
               checkExclude=false
         end if

    next
    if checkInclude = true And checkExclude = true then
     checkIT = true
   else
     checkIT = false
   End if
end function

%>

Select allOpen in new window

But here's the issue - I have about 20 buttons with about 6 possible conditions. Like one button might be for 1, 3, and 7s, and another button is for 1,2 and 7. Another is 2 and 5 only.

Building the array seems like a thorough thing to do, but would lead to a huge amount of additional lines of code, compared with something smaller like the original solution. I mean, am I close with this approach?

<% if (instr(Session("UserType"),"1") or NOT instr(Session("UserType"),"2") then %> 

Select allOpen in new window

Would this work?

I can just try this in a few hours today, but was hoping to go in prepared...

Thanks for your time

Bill

Oops that would be AND NOT

Thanks!

Hi Rainer - I just added a related question to this - Q_28306128 - would really appreciate it if you had a chance to take a look at that.

Thanks!
