page formatting problem with tables and datagrids - especially printing

[mark]

I have one page with a series of reports to be printed like :-
(bear with me ill try to explain the best i can!)

report one - checkbox1
report two - checkbox2
report three - checkbox3

and so on

finally a button to process the reports is pressed
which sends true for each report needed to a reports page

which is set out like this :-

label1
datagrid1
label2

label3
datagrid2
label4

label5
datagrid3
label6

these are all in a table and set to visible - false
i set them to visible from the true response passed from the other page

works great - i can have all reports on a page and switch them off and on at
will - problem is when it comes to printing
when the labels/datagrids have been set to visible = false theres a lot of
empty table tags - which causes the bottomost reports
to print half way down the page

eg

<TR>
<TD>

</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
<TR>

is there anyway of disposing of these blank rows before printing ?

thanks

You might try this
replace the table with ASP:Table and set the related TableCell and TableRow to invisible when you set the label and datagrid to invisible
<asp:Table id="Table2" runat="server"> <asp:TableRow ID="tr1"><asp:T ableCell ID="tc1"
label
datagrid
label
</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow><a sp:TableRow ID="tr2"><asp:T ableCell ID="tc2"
label
datagrid
label
</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow><a sp:TableRow ID="tr3"><asp:T ableCell ID="tc3"
label
datagrid
label
</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow></asp:Table

If 1 is invisble the
tc1.Visible = Fals
tr1.Visible = Fals
End If
