in this code .. document.write("<img src='$BgTags_dir/td0>");
is all the same each time ... what changes is defined be what's checked in a form ... which is entered into

$BgTags_dir .= qq~$modimgurl/BgTags/$BgTags_color/~;

is there a way I can have this without the redundancy of repeating the same code everytime

	~;

	# Begin BgTags

		fopen(FILE, "$vardir/bgtagsdata.txt");
		$bgtagsdata = <FILE>;
		fclose(FILE);
		($BgTags_val,$BgTags_button,$BgTags_color) = split (/\|/, $bgtagsdata);
		$BgTags_dir .= qq~$modimgurl/BgTags/$BgTags_color/~;


	if ("$BgTags_button" eq "silver") {
	$BgTags_color = "silver";
	$yymain .= qq~
	document.write("<img src='$BgTags_dir/td0>");
	    ~;
	    } elsif {
	    
	    if ("$BgTags_button" eq "gold") {
	   	$BgTags_color = "gold";
	$yymain .= qq~
	document.write("<img src='$BgTags_dir/td0>");
	    ~;
	    } elsif {
	    
	    if ("$BgTags_button" eq "default") {
		    $BgTags_color = "default";
	$yymain .= qq~
	document.write("<img src='$BgTags_dir/td0>");
	    ~;

	    } elsif {

	    if ("$BgTags_button" eq "bronze") {
		    $BgTags_color = "bronze"
	$yymain .= qq~
	document.write("<img src='$BgTags_dir/td0>");
	    ~;

	    } elsif {
	    
	    if ("$BgTags_button" eq "blue") {
		    $BgTags_color = "blue";
	$yymain .= qq~
	document.write("<img src='$BgTags_dir/td0>");
	    ~;
	}
}

 	# End BgTags 

could you elaborate a bit ... just to reiterate ... I have a form in admin center that if blue checked uses bule buttons ... if silver cheked uses silver buttons and so on ... I got that code by coping a code that did something simular ... I'm sure you got that that was what I'm trying to do ... but I'm sorry I just don't quite get how to change the code to fit what you suggest other than removing the double quates and something about elseif

I get this error when I click reply, modify, or start new topic ... I removed the double ""

also my admin center push for the options screen didn't push right ... It pushes to "installed mods" but no link to options on the left side menu where the others are
thankyou

Yeah, I didn't add the ~; at the beginning.

ok .. I just read something from curt explaining about statemenats ... I have to go out for about 2 hours but will be diggin in after that ... Thankyou AK108 and Curt

like this

     document.write("<img src=\"$BgTags_dir/td0.gif\\" onclick='td0();' "+HAND+" align='top' width='23' height='22' border='0' />"); 

"  
("<img src=\"$BgTags_dir/td0.gif\\"

not '
('<img src=\'$BgTags_dir/td0.gif\\'


just double checking ...

In case someone else reads this post and wants to know the explaination of  ... if ... else ... elsif ... that curtis sent me ...
