what does "if false" mean below

[rodchar]

hey all,

what does the "<% if (false)...

<link href="/content/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<% if (false) {%>
<link href="../../content/default.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
<% } %>

if "what" is false?

thanks,
rodchar

if "what" is false?

The 'what' is the expression being resolved. The hardwired 'what' is
more often found in while loops i.e.

while(true)
{
...
if (<boolean condtion>)
break
}

What follows "if" is always a boolean expression (that will ultimately
returns true or false). Here it will just always return false so this code
will never run...
