Getstring/Tables

[Richyrich]

I am new to ASP and I have written a page that outputs the value of a table using getString.

1) I know nothing about HTML and was wondering should I have used a more conventional table method for writing the data to a table in order to make formatting easier.

2) How do I get data to wrap in a table?

Thanks...

anyone know even how to wrap text in a table?

Hi Richyrich

set your td tags to set width in pixels eg.
<TD width="200">. Doing this will mean that the column will never get bigger than 200 pixels and all text will wrap onto the next line within that column.

as for using get string, there is nothing wrong with using it, it just depends on if you want to get everything back from that recordset.

I personally prefer using myvar recodset(fieldname).value becuase that way you can build different things more easier

hope this helps Ian
