Incorrect display of table

Question

Hey all,
I have a problem with the display of my table.
I have a category table with category id , name, and description.
The records for category id and name display perfect but in the description i have the categoryid,name, and description...here is what it looks like to make myself more clear
Categoryid name description

I dont know what part of my code is wrong for this..here it is---->
<TABLE align ="centre" border= "5">
<TR>
<% for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++)
%>
<TD><FONT size=5 FACE="Arial"></FONT>
<%= rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) %>
</TD>
<% } %>
</TR>
<% while (rs.next())
{ %>
<TR BGCOLOR="#ffff00">
<% for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++){ %>
<%if (i==4){ %>
<TD><a href="ProductList.jsp?categoryId=<%= rs.getString(categoryId")%">"><%=rs.getString("name")%> <%=rs.getString("description") %></a></td>
<% } else { %>
<TD><%= new String(rs.getString(i)) %></TD>
<% }
}%>
</TR>
<% } %>
</TABLE>
<%
     rs.close();
     st.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
     throw (new ServletException(e));
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Also my description records are displaying as the hyperlinks but i want the records in the name column to display as the hyperlink instead.
I hope somebody can help me and i'd appreciate it very much.
Thanx</a>

Answer 1

code seems good.
To get the hyper link only for the name part put </a> after <%=rs.getString("name")%>.
Post the generated html source for this table part.
