Insert additional html into every 4th item of a Repeater 1

[iaresean]

Hi All;

I am using a repeater to display a listing of products. There are to be a maximum of 4 records per row.

I would normally just use a div to hold each product with a float left assigned. Then the products would simply start on a new line based on the width of the holding div. However in this case, due to design, I cannot use this approach and have been forced into the use of tables.

What I am trying to achieve is to be able to insert a closing and opening 'tr' tag after every fourth item in my repeater. Does anybody know how I might be able to do this?

Thanks for any and all help;

Sean.

The only way you could do this would be to use the data bound event of the Repeater and keep a global variable to store the number of rows. However, you say that due to the design you have to use a table? Surely there is a method you can use to arrange the data as needed and it is just a case of you finding this method?

Hi ca8msm;

I have done exactly that (DataBound event + item counter). However, my problem comes into the actual insertion of the html code. Any idea how I might do that?

I am open to other ideas, it's just that the repeater seemed like the least complex solution to me.

Regards;

To insert the HTML you could just use a Literal control and set it's Text property.

Sometimes the simplest of things can evade us for such a long time.

Thank you once again.
