Programmatically accessing table cells

[Mike]

Is there a way to create a table with rows and cells, and later go back to
that table and insert or update the data in each cell?

Thanks

Sure. Let's say you create them at design time as follows:

<table id="Table1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="100%" border="0"
runat="server">
<tr>
<td id="TD1" runat="server">1-1</td>
<td id="TD2" runat="server">1-2</td>
<td id="TD3" runat="server">1-3</td>
</tr>
</table>

with a submit button:

<input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit1" runat="server">

Then you can insert text at run time as follows:

Private Sub Submit1_ServerClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Submit1.ServerClick
Table1.Border = (Table1.Border + 1) Mod 7
TD1.InnerText = "Table border width = " & Table1.Border.ToString
TD2.InnerHtml = "<b>row 1 cell 2</b>"
TD3.InnerHtml = "<i>row 1<br>cell 3</i>"
End Sub

You can also create tables, table rows, and table cells programmatically. Here's
a link to some sample code (long url, may break):
