Hi guys,

Just need some advice on a issue...

To understand what I'm doing:

I need to place images/colour samples for a fashion online site.. Now some of the gallerys have 10 or maybe 15 images.. now usually i would place a image holder for each image(let say 5).. and if the the db only had 4 images.. the 5th image would display a broken image icon? So my question is there away to avoid from it doing that.. or just another way of constructing the page..

Many thanks

Christian

yes there is, use an a few if statement in a do loop
what the code below will do is show all the items selected from a database, display them 5 per row and if there is no image to be shown it will display a blank box

Code:

  <tr>
   <%
   if not rs.eof then
    do while introwcnt <= 5
   if rs.eof then exit do
    if len(rs("image")) > 0 then
   %>
   <td><img src="<%=rs("image")%>" /></td>
   <% else %>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
    end if
   
   introwcnt = introwcnt +1
   
   if introwcnt = 5 then
   response.write ("</tr><tr>")
   introwcnt=1
   end if
   
    loop
    else
    response.write("there are no records in this group")
    end if
  %>
   </tr>

that should do it, if you have any questions, i would be glad to help
