Needing help with results page

[amelunks]

I'm taking a class in Application Development with Dreamweaver MX2004 using
ASP.NET. I'm working on a project for the class where I'm creating an
e-commerce site. I am looking for help in setting up the results page. (The
page you come to when doing a query for the product.) I would like the
products to be arranged in a table but can not figure out how? I can get it to
work in a 1 column table applying the repeat region server behavior to it but
can not figure out how to get it to work with a multiple column table? I would
like to have a 4 column 4-5 row table per page. Also, when I query and get
results that are more than one page, the first page is the correct query but
the following pages pull in the whole database? I'm fairly certain I need to
repeat the Request.QueryString tag so it remembers the query but not sure where
I would put that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Skeeter

Use a datalist rather than a repeat region to output the results. The code
is very similar however the major advantage of the list is that you can
specify multiple columns

Thanks for the help.

I did get the datalist to work which is great. I now have a new dilemma and
am very new to this so unsure of what needs to be done? The images I'd like to
display in this table are both vertical and horizontal. When creating the
datalist the pictures came in right next to each other so I put them with in a
1 row, 1 column table. Looks pretty good, actually real good if the pictures
are all horizontal. Now the question I have is?Is there a way to hard code so
the columns are all the same width? I created the table to be 120 px by 150 px
yet when a vertical picture is brought in the column is much narrower than 120?
This doesn't look very good when there's both vertical and horizontal pics on
the same page.

I guess one way around this would be to take all the vertical pictures back
into Photoshop and put them on a wider background? Really hoping there's a way
to do this through code.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Skeeter

The simplest way is the create a row in the table and then place a shim gif
into it. This is a transparent image. You then use the img width attribute
to control your column width
