Re^2: How to use TR to generate a table row

Changing it to Tr from tr definitely helped, now the first row is not printing at all, but the rest (which I did not show you the code for) does print, but without the first row, it prints in a rather messy fashion - the column cells do not have the right size.

Again,what I am trying to do is give Tr a reference to a hash which has all of the first row cells in it. Can I do that?

Without seeing the code it's hard to know what the problem is. We could guess, but that would almost certainly be a waste of both your time and ours. Again,what I am trying to do is give Tr a reference to a hash which has all of the first row cells in it. Can I do that? You seem to be changing your story. Previously you have been telling us that you are trying to pass `Tr` an array. Now you say it's a hash. Which is it? A table row doesn't contain data directly. They are supposed to be in td or th elements. Given an array that contains the data for a table row, you need code like this (again, assuming the function-oriented interface to CGI.pm as, in my opinion, it's far easier to use): `print Tr(td(\@array));` [download] -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply] [d/l]
