Developer Toolbox Vertical Looper

[mrrez]

With the vertical looper, I want to show all records in 1 column on my page.
When checking the radio button for all records, I still have to put in a number
for rows. I don't get it. I want all of them, that's why I selectad all
records.

So when I experiment, I put a number 2 in the rows field and selected "all
records". There are three records in the DB right now. When displaying the
page, it's three records in two columns. So I guess by rows, it means each
record is a row, then it starts a new column, every 2 until it shows them all.
Fine. But I want 1 column, all records. The only thing i can see possible, is
to put 999 rows, and select all records. But this is a limitation.


How do I simply show every record in the database verticly in 1 column with
the DW toolbox vertical looper? Isn't that the most basic thing that should
work? Ha, I can't figure it out. Please help, I must be missing the obvious.

So, I just discovered that what I am describing can be accomplished with a simple "repeat region" instead, right?

Still, is this possible with the vertical looper?

Yes. Create a table with two rows. The top row is for your headers .. the
bottom row is to bind your columns to. Then select the bottom row and apply
the repeat region behavior. You can specify all records. Very simple.

I have never used it .. but your thought was mine when they came out with it
... why bother when this is the repeat region in DW anyway? Unless it does
other things .. doesn't sound as if it does.
