why oh why doesn't this work

[benbox]

hi all!

can anyone help me with why the 2nd part of this doesnt work when the first does. ($nav_or_page=="nav") works but not $nav_or_page=="page") .....

<?
function seperator($nav_or_page) {
     if($nav_or_page=="nav") {
       $whitelinelink = $domain . 'images/transmini.gif' ;
       ?>
       <tr><td bgcolor=#FFFFFF><img src=<?=$whitelinelink?> width=1 height=1></td></tr>
       <?
     }
       if($nav_or_page=="page") {
       $transparentimage = $domain . 'images/transmini.gif' ;
       $dottylink = $domain . 'images/dash.gif' ;
       ?>
       <tr><td background=<?=$dottylink?> class=dash><img src=<?=$transparentimage?> width=2 height=3></td></tr>
       <?
     }
}

thanks for any help

I'm guessing because $nav_or_page != "page"?
Try echoing $nave_or_page when it should = "page" and see what's what?
