Making nice data display pages

I stink at displaying data back from a DB in any good looking manner. 

Got my tables and my DBA tactics going fairly well.

Got better at making queries.

I can't stand looking at my own pages that return data.  Any good tutorials on that.  I have been using DreamWeaver MX books as I still have DW8.

Thanks

What you're talking about is really a question of basic web design, using HTML and CSS. After all, the output from a server-side language is sent to the browser as HTML. In my books on PHP development, I try to make the design look good, but the designs are based on the skills I picked up while developing static sites. Maybe what you need is a good book on CSS.

There are also some good extensions at Adobe's Exchange that allow you to do things like alternating color rows, etc.
