Yeah, #if ($needMoreInfo == 'Y' ) will only succeed if $needMoreInfo is
in the context, is of type String, and has value "Y". Put a
[$needMoreInfo] right before the if and see that you get a [Y] in your
output. Also, try using a #set( $needMoreInfo = 'Y' ) right before the
if... that should fix it so the needmoreinfo gif *always* shows up.
That should convince you it's evaluating correctly-- likely your
context isn't getting set correctly.

Hi, Michael,
What did you pass in to the velocity context? I think it should be:
ctx.put("needMoreInfo", "Y");
Or, You could set it in another way in your java code:
ctx.put("needMoreInfo", Boolean.TRUE);
Then, in the Velocity template, you will put:
#if ($needMoreInfo)
<img src="images/needmoreinfo.gif">
#else
<img src="images/1x1.gif">
#end
Cheers,
Jian

Thanks Jian,
But the img src is correct I have tried several different things
And the if seems to always fall through to the else section even though I
know I
Have 2 conditions that meet the if condition.
I am very new to Velocity, can it be due to it be evaluated on the server?

It seems like an html issue with the img src url not correct.
Try putting some text in the if/else and see which one gets called.
Something like this:
#if ($needMoreInfo == 'Y' )
##<img src="images/needmoreinfo.gif">
image is displayed here
#else
##<img src="images/1x1.gif">
another image is here
#end
I suspect it maybe an issue with <img src=...> not having the correct URL.

I have a simple velocity question.
<span name="reportDataCell" datafld="needMoreInfo">
This line displays the value of my data field correctly it is either a Y

a blank space
I would like to display an image instead of the character
I have tried the following but it does not seem to work correctly. Can
anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
#if ($needMoreInfo == 'Y' )
