[/search]The [showif] context adds the tags after every three found items, and those tags are responsible for creating the row breaks in your table.Oh, by the way, if the backslash in [showif [index]\3] doesn't work, try a forward slash instead: [showif [index]/3] instead. I always forget whether or not the divisible by character is a forward slash or a backslash, but one of them actually does work ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
