in reply to Loop counter only works for 2

The problem is if $rows is anything other than 2 it doesn't work, I can't figure out why it's not doing the block
    } elsif ($rows == $row_count) {
to print out the close table row tag like it does with the first script for the newlines.

On the first pass $row_count is incremented to 2. After that it always remains 2. So the above elsif will only be executed when $rows is set to 2.

PS Why are all the columns (<TD></TD>) set to 100% width? If the table has 2 columns, it's 200% wide.

As for the TD tags they're set to 100% because of the fact that you can specify how many blocks there are in a row I want them to all have the same size. Which means that if there's 2 blocks in the row at 100% the blocks each take 50% of the page. Works a treat in opera but netscape 4.78 doesn't seem to like it very much, I have an example of what I'm trying to do at http://geocities.com/rendler/news.html

Set the <table> to your desired width, and the browser will spread the available space evenly if not told otherwise.

Actually it won't it'll only use up to the space that the block in the TD is filled up to and no more.
