Layout depending on simple results of a calculation

[Badass Scotsman]

Classic ASP / VBScript question, I don't have access to any classic ASP
group, apologies.

This may seem a bizarre question, however I would like to be able to assign
numerical values to 5 different tables dynamically, for example:

<table ID="1">
<table ID="2">
<table ID="3">
<table ID="4">
<table ID="5">

And then, order them on the page in ASCENDING order, no database interaction
here.

I will have a page URL as follows:

tables.asp?Table1ID=10&Table2ID=20&Table3ID=30 and so on...these parameters
are what will determine the ordering and layout of the tables.

Any ideas? Struggling to come up with anything here

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Gary.

Gary,

Start by putting your tableids into an array:

arrTables(4)

arrTables(0) = Request.QueryString("Table1Id")
arrTables(1) = Request.QueryString("Table2Id")
....
arrTables(4) = Request.QueryString("Table5Id")

Then use a for next loop to loop through them creating your tables:

Dim TableString
TableString = ""

For i = 0 To UBound(arrTables)
TableString = TableString & "<table ID=""" & arrTables(i) & """>"
Next


I've been using asp.net 1.0 - 2.0 since it first came out in beta 5 or so
years ago now so my vbscript is very rusty but that's the idea.

Good luck with it and happy programming!

Regards,
