I think this will work for you too. It is similar to Joshua's way, but
it is a bit easier logic and you dont need the list.
before you need to know the true or false, you can:
<!IoRangePreExecute> <% bHasChildren = False %><!/IoRangePreExecute>
<!IoRangeConditional>
<!-- <%con_pages%> -->
<!IoRangePreExecute> <% bHasChildren = True %><!/
IoRangePreExecute>
<!/IoRangeConditional>
Then you can use pre-executing logic to test the value of
bHasChildren.
Hope that helps,
Ashley
