Q:
I am trying to create a page that returns the capital, number (of when it
joined the union)and an image of the state flag. I have been able to
return all but the image. I have tried using the same parsing statement
that returns the other information and when that didn't work I tried an
if/elsif statement. I can get all of the images to display on each of the
pages if I comment out the if/else statements. I am using xitami
#!usr/bin/perl
print"Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI qw(:standard);
print"<html>\n";
print"<head><title>Stark State College of Technology</title></head>\n";
print"<body bgcolor=ffe7c6><basefontsize=5>\n";
print"<center>The capital of ", param('state')," is ",
param('cap'),".<br> It was the ",param('num')," state to join the
union.<br><br>\n";
print"<br><br> This is its flag.<br><br> ", param('flag'),"\n";
# if ({'state'} eq "Ohio"){
# print"<img src=\"images/ohioflag.gif\">\n";
# }
# elsif ({'state'} eq" Kentucky"){
# print"<img src=\"images/kentuckflag.gif\">\n";
# }
# elsif ({'state'} eq "Wyoming"){
# print"<img src=\"images/wyomflag.gif\">\n";
# }
# elsif ({'state'} eq "California"){
# print"<img src=\"images/califflag.gif\">\n";
# }
print"</center></body></html>\n";
End of script

A:
if ({'state'} eq "Ohio"){
rather you mean:
if (param('state') eq "Ohio"){
