Help with conditional

[iow_bg]

I am customizing the multi quote button. When I load the page, there is not a multi quote button showing but when I click that same area to select the option, the correct button shows up. After a few attempts, I am to the point that I need to ask what I am doing wrong?

This is coding I am using....

<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
<a class="multiquote" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false;" id="mq_{vb:raw post.postid}">&nbsp;<img id="mq_image_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/multiquote-back<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote-selected']">on<vb:else />off</vb:if>_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase multi_quote_this_message}"></a> 
</vb:if>

Anybody have suggestions?

Thanks
Bill
