[support] targeting a content type

Hi - I am trying to target a new content type in my node template so as not to show certain items. Normally I use the node id which works fine but now i want to blanket a node type. Here is what I am uisng in my query: $content_type=="mootype" full string: if (arg(1)=="862" || arg(1)=="3" || arg(1)=="56" || arg(1)=="76" || arg(1)=="245" || arg(1)=="5" || arg(1)=="1711" || $content_type=="mootype") But it's not taking it - any ideas? Thanks, Allen
