display multiple records with CSS

Report · Feb 21, 2007

PHP MySQL
I have a MySQL table with several columns and multiple records... it is easy
to display these records in a <table> using the repeat record server
behavior applied to the <tr> that displays the records.

I would like to do this with CSS and eleminate <table>'s
My question is can this be done displaying the records in a <div> using the
repeat record server behavior?
Or is this just one of those things that a <table> is required?

Displaying rows of data is actually the reason tables were originally
invented. :)
You need a table with the number of columns for your data and two rows. The
first row is for the column headers. The second row is for the PHP
placeholder that will be replaced with data. Apply the repeat region to
this second row either for all rows or the number of rows you desire to
display on one page .. in which case you would also use recordset paging.

Did you try it yet? You should have no problem putting a Repeat region around a DIV tag.

LOL............. No I hadn't tried it yet. Was just in the planning stage
for a restaurant site and I thought, why bang my head against the wall if it
was going to just give me a headache. Now that I know that it's not an issue
I'm going to dive in.
