Hi there...

Does anybpdy knows how to put something similiar to a "Show If" function into a webpage using DREAMWEAVER CS3...?

Eg: To Hide a form element when a value in the database is not equal to the criterea...

Any help would be appreciated...
 
If I understand you correctly, you want to use a show-if function in CS3? Go to the application window on the right, select the item you want to hide/show and then click on Application->Show If. You have several options there.

Thanx... Have found it there... Sometimes a little looking around certainly helps...

On the other posts I saw the guys mentioning using PHP and ASP.NET... When using Dreamweaver it automatically adds the PHP or ASP tags...

Thats also why I love Dreamweaver so much...!:)
 
Remember - PHP or ASP.NET isn't only about "adding tags". It's all about the back-end coding. The stronger your coding base, the more powerful and scalable your application will be. It's really worth it learning one of those languages... ;)

Actually it works quite good for me... As I am still learning the code (without any compiler or wizard), Dreamweaver works totally good for me... Any other better programs that you might recommend...?

Ok, if you're still learning I suppose Dreamweaver is alright. I strongly recommend taking a day off and reading some tutorials at http://www.w3schools.com/ or http://www.tizag.com/ - you're going to need to advance some day. :)

If you're serious about web dev you could even order some books from amazon.

I use it in the professional world. Works really well for me, saves me a lot of coding time. If I need something custom I will use the closest CS3 function and the customise it to suit my needs.

I might be a Linux junkie but there is no close competitor for Dreamweaver. Not even close.

Thanx Froot...! As I am developing an Intranet site for Xstrata, I also find that nothing compares with Dreamweaver (that of the programs that I have tried...). There is also so MUCH you can do with Dreamweaver, and thats why I am posting alot of threads concerning Dreamweaver stuff...!
 
I have managed to get the SHOW IF thing to work when the recordset is empty or not empty:

PHP: 
<?php if ($totalRows_rs_ScreenPIB == 0) { // Show if recordset empty ?>

Now I want to change it to, when a Field in the recordset is equal to 'Y' it must do the same: I have changed it to the following, but does not seem to work...

PHP: 
<?php if ($row_rs_ScreenPIB['Successful1'] == 'Y') { // Show if recordset empty ?>

Any suggestions what I could possibly have done wrong...?
