    function help please

    Can some please look at this function and maybe help me with why it's
    not doing as it's told... :)

    It's basicall meant to check to see if that field returned from
    database actually has any data in it, and if not, return a display:none
    style to hide it from the list

    I'm trying to achieve not having to show every option of the columns in
    that row, especially if the column is empty (no data)

    Function code..
    -----------------------
    Function HideLink ( val )
    If field.IsEmpty(v al) then
    response.write( "display:no ne")
    Else
    response.write( "")
    End If
    End Function

    Use in page
    ----------------------

    <a href="pdf/<%# Eval("content_t ype_msds") %>" <%# HideLink (
    Container.DataI tem("content_ty pe_msds") )%>>MSDS</a>

          1. Your function doesn't set any return value.

          2. Your function is writing a string to the response stream while the
          page is being parsed. The string will probably end up at the top of the
          page.

          3. You have forgotten to put the css style in the style property of the
          tag. You are trying to use it as if the css style was an html property.
