Ah, but do you understand _why_ that fixes it? Look at the [hideif] after the the variables have been interpolated: [hideif [shiptoaddress1]=] becomes [hideif Don't open Until Christmas!=]which is interpreted as [hideif Don't open Until Christmas != ] which is clearly false.Always [url] _both_ sides of your HideIf/ShowIf comparisons; you can't go wrong.HTHJohn Peacock____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Re: Weird [blank] interpretation Author: (WebCatalog Talk) Date: 12/17/99 10:32 AMCharles--That did it!
