RE: A question about Repeater control

Hi Vincent,

Welcome to the ASPNET newsgroup.

>From your description, you're using the ASP.NET repeater control to display 
list of hyperlinks on page. Also, the links' data is retrieved from 
database table and one link per data table row. Currently you're wondering 
how to display them through html table element and each link item in a 
table cell, correct?

If this is the case, I think you can consider use the template in repeater 
control to declare the html table content. Since you're wantting to display 
the link items in html table cell(not row), we need to bread each <td> 
content into ItemTemplate. e.g:
=================
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
        <HeaderTemplate><table><tr></HeaderTemplate>
        
        <ItemTemplate>
        <td>
        <a href="<%#   xxx %>" ......><%#   xxx %></a>
        </td>
        </ItemTemplate>
        
        <FooterTemplate></tr></table></FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
===================

This will help display each data item in an html table 
cell(<td>...</td>).And the links are displayed horizontally.

If we want to display them vertically, just change the template to divide 
each Item into html row (<tr>...). e.g:

=================
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
        <HeaderTemplate><table></HeaderTemplate>
        
        <ItemTemplate>
        <tr>
        <td>
        <a href="<%#   xxx %>" ......><%#   xxx %></a>
        </td>
        </tr>
        </ItemTemplate>
        
        <FooterTemplate></table></FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
===================

Hope this helps.
