Question

i’m trying to create running counter for SQL data in asp. For example,

Name

James

John

Mary

Instead I like to have it in

Name

1. James
2. John
3. Mary

The code I have is this…

    <%
    if registerRS.recordcount > 0 Then
    registerRS.movefirst
    End If
    %>

<table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
      <tr>    
        <th width="50" font class="tblhdr" style="width:400px;">Name</th>
<%
Do while not registerRS.eof  

%>
       <th width="50" font class="pgcont" valing=left style="width:400px;">     <%=registerRS.Fields("name")%></th>

<%
   registerRS.movenext
loop
registerRS.close
set registerRS=nothing 
End sub
%>

If you’re committed to using your table the following (untested) code should work, as Curt points out you could also use an <ol> and avoid making changes to your code logic –

    <%
    Dim counter
    counter = 1
    if registerRS.recordcount > 0 Then
    registerRS.movefirst
    End If
    %>

<table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
      <tr>    
        <th width="50" font class="tblhdr" style="width:400px;">Name</th>
<%
Do while not registerRS.eof  

%>
       <th width="50" font class="pgcont" valing=left style="width:400px;"><%=counter%>.&nbsp;<%=registerRS.Fields("name")%></th>

<%
   registerRS.movenext
   counter = counter + 1
loop
registerRS.close
set registerRS=nothing 
End sub
%>
