Placement of ASP into HTML tag

[mikemedia]

A friend of mine created a do write.asp file to display recorded mdb data.

Unforunately for me it's straight ASP without any html tag formatting except for <br>.

Conceptually I want to have his lines such as:
Response.Write "DateTime = " & objRS("DateTime")&"<br>"
placed into specified cells, i.e.:

<td>Response.Write.....</td>

Have I given enough info for a response?

This isn't the best way to do it but whatever you put within the response.write is written to the browser therefore you can put html tags within this:

Response.Write "<td>DateTime = " & objRS("DateTime")&"</td>"

Another alternative would be:

<%
Dim MyDate
MyDate = objRS("DateTime")
%>
<table>
<tr>
<td>DateTime=</td><td><%=MyDate%></td>
</tr>
</table>

You can do that, but you need to what I call "break out" into server side. That is done with the following: "<%".

In your example, a way to put asp code between <td> tags would look like this (I usually space it out):

<td>
   [!]<%[/!]
      Response.Write "DateTime = " & objRS("DateTime")&"<br>"
   [!]%>[/!]
</td>
