Order Of Execution

[RebelFox]

Hi,

I have a ASP page which is coded to do the following tasks:-

1) Create a recordset/connection.

2) In a while not end of recordset loop, 'Response.Write'
the fields to the displayed page in a html table.
I have multiple '<% %>' blocks within the table html
code.

3) At the very end of my script, I 'Repsonse.Write' the
the number of records in the recordset.

Everything works a treat except for the order of execution.
For some reason my Response.Write to show the count of records in the record set is written to the browser page BEFORE the table of returned records...even though that part of the code is last in my script.

Can somebody explain why this is? Is it because of the embedded html?

You can use
<% response.buffer = true %>

This stores all executed in a temp buffr, IIS is done it dumps the whole page to the client....

I would need to see the whole code in orde to see why it is displaying out of order. It's possible that you are outputting the recordcount before you close the table, which the browser would display before the table because it woudn't be in a table cell.

Try putting your number of records inside the HTML table in a row at the bottom outside the loop.

If you put your final response.write outside the HTML table it may appear before the table.

Thanks chaps.

I was placing the code inside the table.
Doh!
