if else loop

I'm missing something very obvious....

This script returns the value of the_title to the clipboard, not the_text (under 10.4.11, if it makes a difference):

set the_title to the clipboard

tell application "System Events"
	set myApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true

	if myApp is "Pages" then
		tell application "Pages"
			set the_url to the selection
		end tell

	else if myApp is "BBEdit" then
		tell application "BBEdit"
			set the_url to the selection
		end tell

	else
		return
	end if
end tell

set the_text to " <a href=\"" & the_url & "\" title=\"" & the_title & "\" class=\"external\" " & the_title & "</a>"

set the clipboard to the_text
