Recordset/table display

Hello All,

here is how my recordset looks...i am using simple asp code to build and display the below record set

Station | Length | Width | AvgWidth | Area  
____________________________________________
555-25  |   25   |  20   |   22.5   | 562.5
555-50  |   25   |  25   |   30     | 750       
555-75  |   75   |  35   |   25     | 1875
556-50  |  NULL  |  15   |   NULL   | NULL     
560-50  |   50   |  15   |   15     | 750  
561-00  |  NULL  |  15   |   NULL   | NULL  

Code (markup):

Null values indicated a break in the series...

thanks in advance

 

I would use tables to display this. Tables were meant to display tabular data and this is exactly what you are displaying

 

Corey is right, you may use css to style the table however, if you'd like to spruce it up.

 

Technically you can write tables in CSS, but if it's loaded by a browser that doesn't support it or - rather more likely - has compatibily issues, your table will be a real mess.

As Colleen points out, setting the actual style and such is another matter and really does want setting up via CSS

 

Malachim, do you have an example of this?

 

I'd be interested to see this too, Malachim.

As Corey stated, tables were meant to display tabular data and would be perfect for Eclipse414's purposes.
