Can we use script in a table if GetString is used?
 

Just been looking at this article:

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/121598-1.shtml

which describes using GetString to speed up the creation of HTML
tables. Seems fairly straight forward. But judging by the example it
would appear that if I use this technique, I could not then use ASP
script within the table itself, for example:

....
<td>
<%
If Trim(rs(13)) > "" Then response.write "<img src='images/tick.gif'>"
%>
</td>
....

Is this correct?

TIA,

Colin

What?

Like, rs.GetString(2, ,"<%=varName%>", "<%=something%>")

or something?

What?

You could always use getRows.

Or you could modify your query to return your image path.

Yes.
What you can do is use your query to put those tags into your data. The
specifics depend on what you are trying to do and what your backend database
is.
