Displaying records in a table

[Darren]

Hi Everyone,

This is the problem:

I want to display the some records I have gathered in a recordset
using a SQL query. I want the table to have 3 cells per row (easy so
far). If the recordset happens to contain 15 records, then there are
no problems (3 cells x 5 rows). However, if there are 16 or 17 records
then the final row does not have 3 cells in it anymore (it has 1 or 2
cells respectively). What I would like to do is if there is only 1
cell in the last row then colspan=3 (Haven't decided what to do if
there is 2 cells just yet.)

This is brief example of my code:

<table>
<%
cellcount=0
do while cellcount<4
cellcount=cellcount+1
if cellcount=1 then
response.write("<tr>")
else
end if
response.write("<td>")
response.write(rs("Name"))
response.write("</td>")
if cellcount=3 then
response.write("<tr>")
cellcount=0
else
end if
loop
%>
</table>

I know there is a much simpler solution, I could just create a new
table for every row. But I'm keen to see if there is another way.

Thanks in advance,

Darren Stahlhut

After your loop, see how many cells are not written. Write them here with
content &nbsp; and then close the table
