Hey,

I'm trying to create an HTML table of the powers of 2,3, and 4.  It se
+ems to be working.  The only problem is that the html_table() subrout
+ine is printing out both calls that i made to it ($table1, and $table
+2), instead of just one ($table2).

Thanks,
Kiko


#!/perl/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";


# generate an HTML table of the powers of 2,3 and 4

$rows[0] = html_row("white"," n " , 
                              "nth power of 2",
                              "nth power of 3",
                              "nth power of 4");

for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++) {
    if ($i % 2) {
    $rows[$i+1] = html_row("#cccccc",$i,2**$i,3**$i,4**$i);
    } else {
    $rows[$i+1] = html_row("#ccccff",$i,2**$i,3**$i,4**$i);
    }
}


$table = html_table(1,"",@rows);
$table2 = html_table(0,"black",html_row("",$table));
print "Here are the powers of 2, 3 and 4<BR><BR>\n";
print "$table2";




# This subroutine will print out a table row
sub html_row {

    local($color, @row)=@_;
    $rowP.="<TR BGCOLOR=$color>";
    foreach $a (@row) {
        $rowP.="<TD> $a </TD>";
    }
    $rowP.="</TR>\n";
    
    return ($rowP);
}

# This subroutine will print out an HTML Table    
sub html_table {

    local($border,$color,@table_row)=@_;
    $tableP.="<TABLE BORDER=$border BGCOLOR=$color>\n";
    foreach $b (@table_row) {
        $tableP.="$b";
    }
    $tableP.="<TABLE>\n";
    
    return ($tableP);
}
