problem with if else statement syntax error, unexpected ELSE

[kayakbabe]

Does anyone see anything wrong with my if else statement. My store keeps telling me syntax error, unexpected ELSE
but it isn't unexpected... I need it!
I'm reducing a products inventory by either the store default low stock amount or by the products low stock amount if it not default.
I have values for the variable I am testing. I tried using just 1 and '1', I checked that I have single and double quotes and not smart quotes.
I"m stumped. (and tired). Can one of you miva gurus help me out with the syntax of my if - else?

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_INV_DB" name="l.success" value="InventoryProductSettings_Read(l.settings:in vsetstore)" />
<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_INV_DB" name="l.success" value="InventoryProductSettings_Load(l.settings:re cord:id, l.settings:invsetprod)" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:invsetprod:low_lvl_d EQ '1'">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:record:invadjusted" value="l.settings:record:inventory - l.settings:invsetstore:low_level" >
<mvt:else>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:record:invadjusted" value="l.settings:record:inventory - l.settings:invsetprod:low_level" >
</mvt:if>

The forum sometimes messes up code displays. I'm seeing a couple of spaces in the middle of variable names (such as "l.settings:re cord:id") but you probably didn't type those.

mvt:assign tags have to have a slash before the closing angle bracket; looks like you left those out.

Are the spaces that show up due to pasting the code? I see a couple of them (l.settings:in vsetstore) (l.settings:re cord:id, l.settings:invsetprod)

[kayakbabe]

yes they were from pasting... Here is my tired brain fart... I didn't close the assign statements... that slash is so important!

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_INV_DB" name="l.success" value="InventoryProductSettings_Read(l.settings:in vsetstore)" />
<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_INV_DB" name="l.success" value="InventoryProductSettings_Load(l.settings:re cord:id, l.settings:invsetprod)" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:invsetprod:low_lvl_d EQ '1'">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:record:invadjusted" value="l.settings:record:inventory - l.settings:invsetstore:low_level" />
<mvt:else>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:record:invadjusted" value="l.settings:record:inventory - l.settings:invsetprod:low_level" />
</mvt:if>

well, at least your not typing <mvassign name="g.foo" value="{ l.something.something}"/> and wondering why it doesn't work.

Yes, I do that occasionally too. :^)
