Results displaying prematurely on the page

[Bill]

I have a page that runs a function. The function simply adds a dot to
a group of numbers. The function works fine, however, the results kick
out prematurly on the page. What I mean by this is that the numbers
are supposed to be part of an href query that is concatenated to the
end of the string, and is supposed to be hidden from view. So it
should look like this

Book Title One
Book Title Two
Book Title Three

with a hyperlink on each title so a person can click on it and get the
detail info. However, what is happening is this:

08307.5321
08307.3321
08307.4669

Book Title One
Book Title Two
Book Title Three

I don't know why the numbers are appearing at the top, although I know
it has something to do with the way ASP processes code, and what it
chooses first. How can I get this function to run and kick out the
results in order? The code is as follows, showing the function
included:


do while not rs.eof
response.write "<tr bgcolor=FFFFCC>"
response.write "<td><font face=verdana size=1><a
href=v_detail_products.asp?isbn=" & adddot(rs("isbn_copy")) & _
">" & rs("title") & "</a></td>"

The function is called adddot, and I'm adding it to the
rs("isbn_copy") field.

Thanks if you can help!

What does adddot(arg) look like? And does your resultant html look like
what you want it to look like? I'm going to say no. Are you closing your
<tr>'s?

Do you have a response.write in your function? Show the code for you
function... that's probably where the problem is.

Look at your generated source code. You will find that the numbers are
written inside the <TABLE>, but outside any cells.

In addition to others' comments, I'd also recommend placing quotation
marks around the href using Chr(34), like this:

response.write _
"<td><font face=verdana size=1><a
href="&Chr(34)&"v_detail_products.asp?isbn=" &_
adddot(rs("isbn_copy")) & Chr(34)& _
">" & rs("title") & "</a></td>"
