IF statement in HTML ITS page

Question

In my ITS page I have the following code:
`if (area == 3)`
<input type="image" name="~OkCode=GETPRODUCTS_RES" src="`mimeURL()`/tab_residential_on.gif" width="131" height="36" border=0 />
`else`
<input type="image" name="~OkCode=GETPRODUCTS_RES" src="`mimeURL()`/tab_residential_off.gif" width="131" height="36" border=0 />
`end`
This works fine but I want to remove the literal "3" and replace it with a variable g_res.  So I change the code to read:
`if (area == g_res)`
This doesn't work as I think it's still checking the literal value of "g_res" not the value in the variable.  I've checked several HTML code forums but this seems too simple a problem for them to solve.  I'm a HTML novice so any pointers would be great.

Hi,
Of course this is possible. The line
  if (area == g_res)
should work as expected.
Maybe you have noticed that you are not writing plain HTML but mixing HTML and a scripting language. The scripting language you are using here is called HTMLBusiness. It's a language only available on SAP ITS, so you won't find anything about it in ordinary HTML forums. Check the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/5f/1fb05e4aee11d189740000e8322d00/frameset.htm">HTML Business reference</a> for further information.
