Show region if empty not working (ASP)

Question

I have created an app in ASP (not .NET) to record some supplier stock info, with a summary page displaying a filtered recordset based upon the logged in user which is working fine and dandy... the problem lies when no records exist for the current user the summary page is coming back with the standard ASP, ADO error meaning no records exist: -
ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
So I have tried adding "show region" behaviors to show a "no records exist" message and hiding the table containing the summary info, but the above error is still showing when I would only expect the "no records exist" message to display... page code as follows, all help appreciated..!

Answer 1

It depends on the markup situation, for example if your
images are *not* wrapped in a container element that contains just
the image, then I would do something like this:
<img spry:if="'{boximage}' != '' &amp;&amp;
'{boximage}' != 'undefined'" src="{boximage}" />
<img spry:if="'{boximage}' == '' || '{boximage}' ==
'undefined'" src="MissingImage.jpg" />
Or in the case of the products demo where we have an image in
a <p> I would use a spry:choose:
<p spry:choose="choose">
<img spry:when="'{boximage}' != '' &amp;&amp;
'{boximage}' != 'undefined'" src="{boximage}" />
<img spry:default="default" src="MissingImage.jpg" />
</p>
Using spry:choose where you can is better because it means
the region processing code has one less conditional expression to
evaluate since the default case has no expression associated with
it.
