can you show us your code? Else statements are generally the last "catch all"option so if everything previous does not pass, do this. Format is usually Else{ the code you want to execute}

I assume that you are trying to add the final else clause. If so, then check your brackets to make sure you are adding the else to the proper if statement because if statements can be nested. Also a semi-colon will end an if statement, so make sure you are not placing your else just after a semi-colon.
