the layout of retrieved data

[Shukie]

The link for the photos are requested from the server and so the photo
appears on screen. I can produce a long list by using the response.write ***
& "<br>" or whatever. but is it possible to have it start on the next line
after say 5 photos in a line. i.e. where each - is a photo

- - - - -
- - - - -
- - - - -

rather then
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
or
-
-
-
-
etc.

thanks

p.s. I like the ASCII photos. They're really nice. :]

looking at http://www.asp101.com/samples/index.asp page, could i do this:

---------------------------------------------------

<table border="1">
<%
Do While Not rstSimple.EOF
%>
<tr>
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("filepath").Value %></td>
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("filepath").Value %></td>
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("filepath").Value %></td>
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("filepath").Value %></td>
</tr>
<%
rstSimple.MoveNext
Loop
%>
</table>

This would create four duplicate images per row.

<img1> <img1> <img1> <img1>
<img2> <img2> <img2> <img2>

as opposed to

<img1> <img2> <img3> <img4>
<img5> <img6> <img7> <img8>

Not if you don't want duplicated images. :)

Your code gets a value, rstSimple.Fields("filepath").Value, then
displays it in a cell in a table. It then creates a new cell, with
the exact same data since until you hit the rstSimple.MoveNext it
doesn't get the next value from your record set. So in effect, you
read the next value for the record set only when you create the next
row.

It's a logic error, you need a FOR/NEXT loop to retrieve the next item
in your recordset for each cell, not at each row. More like:

<tr>
FOR i = 1 to 4
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("filepath").Value %></td>
rstSimple.MoveNext
NEXT
</tr>

Or actually, more like the sample code Ray told you to look at in the
first place... :)
