Displayig Recordsets ACROSS a page

[jedel]

OK,

The more I read about this the more confused I'm becoming, Here is the page that I am describing in this post:

http://www.calvarycc.org.au/index.asp

On the right hand side of the page there are two events. This is merely a record set in a repeating region that is limited to only two records at a time displayed in date order.

What I would like to do is display three events horizontally across the bottom of the page.

I thought using an array might be the go, but alas, this is where I'm lost. I understand how and array works, but I cannot find anything that integrates an array using record sets.

Some ideas, examples, code or places to go would be greatly appreciated

Why not simply change your db query that fills your recordset to return 3 records, instead of 2 ? Then you've got the three records to play with.

Manipulating them into a horizontal list vs a vertical list is basically the same code, depending on how you've created the vertical list. If it's a set of divs, then it should be exactly the same - your CSS should make them horizontal. Same again if it is a list (e.g. ul) - CSS will make it work the way you want. Unfortunately, if it's tables on the other hand (naughty you), then you just change the separators to <td> at the start of each iteration and </td> at the end of each iteration, with <table><tr> before the loop and </tr></table> after it. This is why people recommend table-less markup, as it is more flexible to separate style from content.

Other than that, I'm not sure what you're finding so difficult - you've already done it one way - the foundations (if not the exact code) are there to do it the other.

To make an array from a recordset use GetRows. See

However I don't at the moment see what an array OR a recordset has got to do with your page layout.
