[thelist] One for the GURU's asp loop

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

Hi Brian,

   I'm not sure about the guru status, but I'll take a shot.

   First off, I'd suggest using the GetRows() method of the recordset (  http://learnasp.com/learn/whygetrows.asp  ). It's a lot more efficient, and it gives you an array that you can walk through (back, forward, up, down) at your leisure.

   I don't know exactly how you're rendering these addresses, but I would think you'd want to do something like this:

For i=0 to UBound(arrRecords, 2)
   Select Case i Mod 3
      Case 0 ' Beginning of a new row
         myCSSClass = "beginRow"
      Case 1 ' Middle item in the row
         myCSSClass = "middleOfRow"
      Case 2 ' End of the row
         myCSSClass = "endRow"
   End Select

   WriteAddress(myCSSClass, companyName, addr1, addr2, city, state, zip)
Next

   Of course you could always do the Response.Write part right there instead of putting it in a separate subroutine...

HTH,

Peter

I have a recordset that contains company name,addr,addr1,city,state,zip

I am trying to format the asp output so labels can be printed. I am 
close using a style sheet and some margin tweaking.

My question is as follows:

I need to write the records 3 companies per row:

company1 company2 company3
addr addr addr
addr1 addr1 addr1
city,state zip city,state zip city,state zip

I originally used 3 arrays to read the first, second and third company 
with movenext in between, then write out the row using the arrays,
loop, redim my arrays and get the next three - repeat.

This produces duplicate companies.

Looking for suggestions on the best way to handle this. Maybe use the 
cursor command to get the first three?

I use ASP on MS with sql 2000 backside.

Thanks
