I have created a form with a link on it.
The source of the form is a mySQL table which has a field in it either containing a URL, or a null.
If the field contains a URL, I want to set the href of the form's link to it, if the field contains a null, I want the href set to another page on my site (always the same page)
I have been trying to use template variables to do this.
The HTML coding is:
<td align="right" width="8%"><a href="{LnkStats_Src}" {stats_tpl_var}>{LnkStats}</a></td>
I have put the following code into the beforeshow event of the form:
If trim(tblschools1.txtStats.Value) <> "" Then
tblschools1.LnkStats.Page = tblschools1.txtStats.Value
tblschools1.LnkStats.Value = "STATS"
HTMLTemplate.SetVar "@stats_tpl_var", "target=_blank"
Else
tblschools1.LnkStats.Page="SchoolsLinks.asp"
tblschools1.LnkStats.Value = "Other Text"
HTMLTemplate.SetVar "@my_tpl_var", ""
End If
As you can see, if the link is to a page on another site, I want it to appear in a new window ("target = _blank")
The link is always blank on the page, whether the database field contains a web address or not.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? I am a newbie as far as ASP and CCS is concerned.
Maybe there is a better way to do it, not using template variables.

Sorry, there was an error in my previous message.
In the Else section of the coding, the penultimate line should have read
HTMLTemplate.SetVar "@stats_tpl_var", ""

You didn't quote the '_blank'. Could that be all that is wrong?
