As I said - dunno about ASP, but if it is like in PHP, "true" evaluates to TRUE,
because it is a non-empty string. IOW: In PHP everything that is not empty or
not zero ("yes", "true", "this sentence also evaluates to true", "false", "no",
"worng", 42, -1) is TRUE; or the other way around, just blank or zero is FALSE
("", 0, or a unset variable).
Maybe it's the same in ASP? Please try and tell me, I'd be a little bit
interested to know...
