ASP -- formatting/display first record differently
I am an amateur programmer, developing my own personal site. I have been picking up ASP, ADO, SQL, VBScript bit by bit over the last two weeks and learning has been mostly through trial and errors.

How do I apply a different formatting to the first headline of the recordset. I have already created the necessary classes in the stylesheet.

<%rs.MoveFirst
do while not rs.eof
' Writes the links to the newly created pages in the browser
response.write "<a href='" & rs("ID") & "_" & "features" & month(date) & "_" & year(date) & ".htm'>" & "<p class='menuhead2'>" & rs("Headline") & "</p>" & "</a>" & "<p class='menuintro'>" & rs("Blurb") & "</p>"
rs.movenext
loop
%>

Hi

Try:
Code:
<%
int_Counter = 0
rs.MoveFirst
do while not rs.eof
' Writes the links to the newly created pages in the browser
If int_Counter = 0 Then
' First row -- do something to format the line here
End If
response.write "<a href='" & rs("ID") & "_" & "features" & month(date) & "_" & year(date) & ".htm'>" & "<p class='menuhead2'>" & rs("Headline") & "</p>" & "</a>" & "<p class='menuintro'>" & rs("Blurb") & "</p>"
int_Counter = int_Counter + 1
rs.movenext
loop
%>

Many thanks for responding. I resolved it with the following:

'WRITE FIRST HEADLINE WITH SPECIAL FORMATTING
rs.Movefirst
act.WriteLine(" <p class='byline'>" & rs("section") & "</p>" )
act.WriteLine(" <p class='menuhead1'>" & rs("Headline") & "</p>" )
act.WriteLine(" <p class='menuintro1'>" & rs("Blurb") & " | " & "<a href='" & rs("ID") & "_" & "topstory" & month(date) & "_" & year(date) & ".html'>" & "Read</a></p>")
rs.Movenext
'WRITE SUBSEQUENT HEADLINEs WITH DIFFERENT FORMATTING
do while not rs.eof
act.WriteLine(" <p class='byline'>" & rs("section") & "</p>" )
act.WriteLine(" <p class='menuhead2'>" & rs("Headline") & "</p>" )
act.WriteLine(" <p class='menuintro'>" & rs("Blurb") & " | " & "<a href='" & rs("ID") & "_" & "topstory" & month(date) & "_" & year(date) & ".html'>" & "Read</a></p>")
rs.movenext
loop


Best regards
