1. verify the extra field content is available on your page (use webmaster mode)

{section name=field loop=$extra_fields}
{if $extra_fields[field].field eq "testing" &&  $extra_fields[field].field_value ne ""}
{assign var="test" value=$extra_fields[field].field_value}
{/if}
{/section}

3. place your variable in a div with inline css. The if makes sure something is there, else it ignores. If $test is empty, nothing happens. If test has something in it, it will display the <div> - which is set to not display anything using css, style="display:none;"

{if $test ne ""}
<div style="display:none;">TESTING CONTENT GOES HERE</div>
{/if}

The logic is: "is there anything in the test field? If so, do not display the content.

Hope this helps in some way.

J your some man that works a treat with some tweaking.

Here is what I did incase it helps anyone else.

{section name=field loop=$extra_fields}
{if $extra_fields[field].field eq "Sample Request" &&  $extra_fields[field].field_value ne ""}
{assign var="test" value=$extra_fields[field].field_value}
{/if}
{/section}

{if $test ne ""}
<div style="display:none;">
				{include file="customer/buttons/button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_ask_question_about_product style="link" href="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=`$product.productid`')"}
				</div>
{else}
<div class="ask-question">
				{include file="customer/buttons/button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_ask_question_about_product style="link" href="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=`$product.productid`')"}
