beginner needs help displaying from database!

[jbrill]

hey,

just need help to solve a simple question...

 

I'm trying to display products that are pulled form a database in a certain way using only DIV tags

I would like the products to display across the page in rows of 4, however when i use div tags it is just putting one on each row.. whats the best way to display in a row of 4? here is an example script of what im using to experiment with:

<? include 'includes/dbconnect.php' ?>

<div id="#productcontainer">

<?
	$allresult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE publish=1");
              
              while($row = mysql_fetch_array($allresult))
	{
	echo"<div style=\"width:200px; height: 200px; border: 1px solid #000000;\" >";
	echo"<b>". $row['name'] . "</b>";
	echo"</div>";
	}
?>

</div>

Yes I'm affraid you are going to have to use a table. But if you really want you can put your div's seperately in each <td> of the table
