build table from array 3

[yahve]

Hi,

This one is giving me a headache. I'm building a products page from an Access2000 db. The idea is to have the same page displaying one chosen product at the time. One of the fields in the db contains a list of images URLs relating to the product, separated by a delimiter. Not all the products have the same number of images. I'm spliting that field in the asp page and building a table from that array.

The question is: how can I make my table 2 columns wide whatever the number of images the array contains? I need someway to build the first row with the first two elements of the array, then build a second row, and so on.

Is there a better way, using divs maybe, to format my page into two columns? Should I keep my images URL in a separated table and use data shaping instead of the array thing I'm now doing?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Gerard,

Thanks for the tip, I was thinking of something like that but was not sure how to go about it. I'll try it out.

Bye.

Hi Gerard,

Here's what I finally did, it works great:

response.write(&quot;<table><tr>&quot;)
if (Ubound(a)/2) = CInt((Ubound(a)/2)) then
    for i = 0 to (UBound(a)-1)
    if i/2 = Cint(i/2) then
        response.write(&quot;<td>&quot; & a(i))
    else
        response.write(&quot;<td>&quot; & a(i) & &quot;</td></tr>&quot;)
    end if
    next
else
    for i = 0 to (UBound(a)-1)
    if i/2 = Cint(i/2) then
        response.write(&quot;<td>&quot; & a(i))
    else
        response.write(&quot;<td>&quot; & a(i) & &quot;</td></tr>&quot;)
    end if
    next
    response.write(&quot;<td></td></tr>&quot;)
end if
response.write(&quot;</table>&quot;)

Thanks again for showing me the way!

Bye.
