i would like to display a recordset in a grid. I am using dreamweaver mx and access. basically at the moment i can display the recordset in a column using repeat region but i would like to have insert the variables from the recordset into the top lefthand corner of the grid and then have a different record displayed in each square in the grid.

Can you sketch out what you mean, or maybe come up with a static URL? I'm not following.

this is a screengrab of what im trying to achieve

relatively easy with CSS and floats, a real PITA with tables

fixed width grid?
fixed width display?
fixed count across?

I'll extract and write up the code that I use on my catalogue site if that's the kind of thing you want

(as seen on blooberi lingerie) Lingerie site BTW

yep thats the sort of thing i was looking for
many thanks

I am ok with using css but what are floats and how do you do what im after using css and floats?

It would actually be kind of difficult to do. I haven't seen a good cross-browser grid example that uses CSS and floats (divs).

You'd have divs defined something like this though:
[code]
.gridrow {
clear: left;
}
.gridcol {
float: left;
height: 100px; /* You need this part or it doesn't work. That's what makes my example a bad one...if the person resizes text in FF or something and the height becomes greater than 100px, there are issues. */
width: 160px;
}

<div class="gridrow">
     <div class="gridcol">...</div>
     <div class="gridcol">...</div>
     <div class="gridcol">...</div>
     <div class="gridcol">...</div>
</div>

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I haven't seen a better way to do it myself, although I'd like to personally.

(For those about to suggest table-row and table-cell, IE6 and before don't support them so that's why they don't really apply, I don't think.)
