Display mutliple <table> structure using for loop

[worldatlas]

I have a dropdown box for the users to select how many transaction entries they want to enter. Should I program as follow:
for i=1 to intRows Step 1

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#eeeeee">

<td>
<asp:textbox Width = 50 ID = "AcctUnit" Runat="server">
</asp:textbox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:textbox Width = 50 ID = "AcctNum" Runat="server">
</asp:textbox></td>
<td>
<asp:textbox Width = 100 ID = "ActivityNum" Runat="server">
</asp:textbox>
</td>
<td>
<asp:textbox Width = 75 ID = "AcctCat" Runat="server">
</asp:textbox>
</td>
</table>
next
These are empty textbox that will require users to input data...But I want it to be dynamic so users can decide how many rows they can add.

Is there a better way to do this.

First of all, I wouldn't use tables to position your TextBoxes (use CSS instead). Then, you can simply create the TextBox's in code (for how ever many is selected from the DDL) and add them to your page (or panel/placeholder etc).

No need to create a new table for each row, just loop through the rows:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0">
for i=1 to intRows Step 1
<tr bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<td><asp:textbox Width = 50 ID = "AcctUnit" Runat="server" /></td>
<td><asp:textbox Width = 50 ID = "AcctNum" Runat="server" /><td>
<td><asp:textbox Width = 100 ID = "ActivityNum" Runat="server" /></td>
<td><asp:textbox Width = 75 ID = "AcctCat" Runat="server" /><td>
</tr>
next
</table>

BTW, you missed the </tr>.
