Try trimming it first, as there could be whitespace. Also you don't need
the # # around the variable in the CFIF statement. also, presumably the
URL in the link has some value, what is it? e.g. is the html '<a href="
">More Info</a>', etc?
rewritten:
<cfoutput query="get_news">
<p>
#get_news.news_headline#
</font></strong>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Arial">#get_news.news_details#<p>
<cfif Len(Trim(get_news.news_url))>
<i><a href="#get_news.news_url#">More Info</a></i>.<br>
</cfif>
<br>
</font>
</cfoutput>

big time .....
Please respond to dev
I just can't figure this ....
The table holds news_id, news_headline, news_details, news_url.
If there is nothing in the news_url element then display nothing else
display "more info"
What could be simpler ....? - When theres nothing in the news_url however I
get a link to the default page (marge.bgfl.org/perform) ... AGHHHH!
<cfoutput query="get_news">
<p>
#news_headline#
</font></strong>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Arial">#news_details#<p>
<cfif #get_news.news_url# neq "">
<i><a href="#news_url#">More Info</a></i>.<br>
</cfif>
<br>
</font>
</cfoutput>
