Remember, all you are doing with ASP is generating html to be sent to the
client. So your first step is to learn how to write html (which is outside
the scope of this group - here are some groups that focus on html and css:
http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33584039). Once you realize that
html is simply a string of characters, you will come to the realization that
all you need to do in ASP is manipulate strings to generate the html which
you write to the Response object. So the top-level description of the task
you wish to perform is:
In server-side code:
- use ADO to retrieve the data from the database into a recordset.
- read the data from each record in the recordset and concatenate that data
into a string containing the html you wish to send to the client
- write the html string to Response.
For specifics, see this article which contains some recommendations and
examples:
