Hi,

I'm creating a site with a news section, and I want to display the results like this (click here). Where the top 3 stories have a picture and the rest just have the title.

I can get it to display either all with the picture or all the titles, I just don't know how to split them up.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Wayne

do 2 repeat regions, top region with 3 records and the image field

2nd repeat region, showing just the titles.

Thanks Dave,

Would the second repeat region show all the titles including the top 3? If so is there a way I can have all the stories except the top 3 in the title list.

When I add another story would the bottom story of the top 3 be moved down to the title list.

Regards
Wayne

set your first repeat up to use the first 3 records using, ID's in a DESC sort, so it will always be the last 3 id's.

so your repaet regions will look like:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><font color=red>
&lt;%
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index

Repeat1__numRows = 3
Repeat1__index = 0
rsNews_numRows = rsNews_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
%&gt;
&lt;%
Dim Repeat2__numRows
Dim Repeat2__index

Repeat2__numRows = 20
Repeat2__index = 3
rsJobs_numRows = rsJobs_numRows + Repeat2__numRows
%&gt;
</font id=red></font id=code></pre id=code>

look for :: &gt; Repeat2__index = 3

the '3' means the second repeat will start showing records after the 3rd ID.

Dave
