Please somebody help me here. I have a project that deals with questions and answers, see how it goes:

When a user post a question, people on the site answers the question meaning a question will have multiple answers and here is my challenges. There are list of questions on my page and when a user click on a particular question, the application directs the user to another page and brings out all the answers corresponding to the question they clicked but my challenge is how to create HTML table data(

) or table row at runtime so that I can put different answers in different HTML

or table row because i am selecting all answers for a single question. I want to display the answers in a Table Row

or Table Data

which means i will need to create a or

for each answer when the page loads the answers for a question.

Your respond will be highly appreciated.

Is there a requirement that requires you to use an html table? It may be better to do some research on using a DataGridView or a control of that nature to display it if you can.

Hi,
according to your posted scenario I believe you don't need dynamic table to show multiple answers. Simple repeater will do your job with more simply. If you are not much used to with asp.net repeater control these articles will help
