OK, so what I'm trying to do is make a drop template that will add new table rows automatically as we need them but will not display them if left blank. I thought that by using the if conditional to encase the code for the next row I'd be able to make it display only if Enemy2 were filled in. I also included the negative area to close the table at this point if Enemy2 were left blank. Didn't work out at all like I thought it would. So, anyone (with more experience with these things) got any suggestions? - EspioKaos 00:20, 13 April 2008 (CDT)
