I'm a novice in db's, but by now I'm able to do basic db stuff.

So now I'm wondering how to format the output I get, i.e. how do I format the resulting html/asp page so the output from the db looks nice and presentable?

Anyone know a resource/tutorial where I can learn more on this?

Regards,
OMG

That has nothing to do with the db, get some tutorial about CSS, HTML etc so you can e.g. format your stuff in tables or however you want. There are tons out there but if you ask me, nothing beats the medival book.

I've worked for some years now with CSS & HTML etc, so I don't need to learn that. But since I'm just starting on db's I'm curious on how the relationship is between db's and html/css. And I thought that someone's must have had the same experience once?

after you connect with your DB you will be able to show the data using a bit of asp code

<% = recordsetname("name") %>

this would show what you have in your recordset for "name".

You can tag it the normal way:

will show it bold.

That's it.
