if there are no results to pull, it doesnt show up, if there is then imagine if you will stripping the php out of it.. it would show up right where it is.. I have narrowed it down to the rows and columns section of the loop.. but i cant figure out what is causing it as I have done similar in the past without problem

[R0bb0b]

first off, you are not declaring $counter as 0 before the loop, so you may have a php warning interfering with the page html.  That's my guess anyway without actually seeing the source behind that < r>.  The configuration may be set up to show warnings.

I've got it! 

 

elseif($jstat == "666") {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td bgcolor=\"" . $colrbg . "\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><font class=\"font_gen\">" . $jtit . "</font></td>";
echo "<td bgcolor=\"" . $colrbg . "\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"116\"><font class=\"font_gen\">" . $jpost . "</font></td>";
echo "<td bgcolor=\"" . $colrbg . "\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"66\"><font class=\"font_gen\">" . $jID . "</font></td>";
echo "<td bgcolor=\"" . $colrbg . "\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"45\"><font class=\"font_gen\"><img src=\"images/icon_inactive.png\" border=\"0\"></font></td>";
echo "<\tr>";

There, the last line! You see it? It's a <\tr>. Should be a </tr>.

that was it, the reverse slash was doing it to me.. fixed that it stopped showing up.. don't think I would have noticed that for a good while to come so you definitely saved me much aggravation, though I cant figure out how it got that way either.. must have been that long day yesterday, thanks again,..
