thanks jon. I think that's a step in the right direction. I've included a
sample of the HTML of the links page so you can get a better idea as to how
i want things to look. Your code below looks awesome, the only thing I was
curious about though was that it would create a table with only one column
when it's running through the loop. maybe I'm wrong, what are your
thoughts?..
here's the html:

</table>
I realize all that is very long, but I wanted you to see it all. that's how
I need it to come out from the db.
thanks a lot, and I'll be working on it myself.
