Arrays / Tables / Anything for a "clean" display

dmiller23462

Somebody take a look and give me any suggestions? My brain is nuked...

Here's my deal....I have online submission forms on my intranet at
work here....I am appending to an Access DB with the input from all
HTML fields and then querying aforementioned DB with different
variables (search by name, wave, reason, etc). The output that I'm
getting (SELECT * 'cause I need all of the data included in the
search) I would like to display in a nice table or array but I'm not
quite sure how to make those settings "dynamic", for lack of a better
word. What I mean is, the form is used at various times throughout the
day so I don't want to put a cap on the array rows and columns since
they will be constantly increasing. Any suggestions?

Here's the code I have right now (I was playing around with display
ideas) and the table is the basic way I want it but the columns change
to fit whatever data is in them....That's not good, I want a RIGID
column that will be unwavering in it's data display...

Throw me a bone here...Thanks guys...

If I understand you correctly you want the table data to be listed in a
consistent manner... this is actually an HTML problem, where what you're
doing is creating a new table for each row (also, you forget to close your
TDs and your TR), but anyway, here goes (also, you could include width= in
your TDs):

Response.Write "<table border='1'>"

While Not rs.EOF
Response.Write "<tr><td>Name: " & rs("name") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Days/Nights: " & rs("shift") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Wave Number: " & rs("wave") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Carton Number: " & rs("carton") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Location: " & rs("location") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "License: " & rs("license") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "SKU: " & rs("sku") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Quantity: " & rs("qty") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Reason: " & rs("reason") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Comments: " & rs("comments") & "</td>"
Response.Write "<td>"
Response.Write "Date Submitted: " & rs("date") & "</td>"
Response.Write "</tr>"
rs.MoveNext
Wend

Response.Write "</table>"

Use the Style attribute:

Response.Write "<tr><td style=""width:50px""">..."

Why not try GetRows ? :-
<%
Result = DisplayTableContents("test_Data","Name",Request("N ame"))

Private Function DisplayTableContents(byVal TableName, byVal Comparator,
byVal Comparison)
MyConnection = "PROVIDER=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=" &
Server.MapPath("/jax/wh/Online_Forms/Secured_Archives/search_files/shortage_
test.mdb")

Set dbconn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
dbconn.Open MyConnection
SQLqry = "SELECT * from " & TableName & " WHERE " & Comparator & " LIKE
'%%" & Comparison & "%%'"
Set rs = dbconn.Execute(SQLqry)

DataArray = rs.GetRows
NumberofRecords = ubound(DataArray,2)
NumberOfFields = ubound(DataArray,1)
Redim FieldNames(NumberOfFields+1)
For FieldNumber = 0 to NumberOfFields
FieldNames(FieldNumber)= rs.Fields(FieldNumber).Name
Next
rs.close
set rs=nothing
dbconn.close
set dbconn = Nothing

Response.write("Number of Records = " & NumberOfRecords)
Response.write("Number of Fields = " & NumberOfFields)

For RecordNumber = 0 to NumberOfRecords
Response.Write "<table border='1'><tr>"
