Chapter 35:  Displaying Database Records
The following example illustrates how the Repeat Region server behavior is applied to a table 
row, and specifies that nine records are displayed per page. The row itself displays four 
different records: city, state, street address, and zip code.
To create a table such as the one shown above, you must create a table containing dynamic 
content, and apply the Repeat Region server behavior to the table row containing the 
dynamic content. When the page is processed by the application server, the row is repeated 
the number of times specified in the Repeat Region server object, with a different record 
inserted in each new row.
To learn how to apply the Repeat Region server behavior, see 
Record counters
Record counters give users a reference point when they are navigating through a set of records. 
Typically, record counters display the total number of records returned, and the current 
records being viewed. For example, if a recordset returns 40 individual records, and 8 records 
are displayed per page, the record counter on the first page would indicate “Displaying records 
1-8 of 40.”
