How to generate a table with unique ids?

[The reaper]

Hello there,

I've been trying to figure out how to make a table, in this case it's a 50x50 table with each one having a different "title" tag here is the first one:

<td style="background-color:#0000BA;"><a href="page#" title="1"><font color="#000000"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></font></td>
<td style="background-color:#0000BA;"><a href="page#2" title="2"><font color="#000000"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></font></td>

I'm not really sure how to do this, I am thinking it is possible with a while loop, but I don't know how to add the variables and limit the row and column count.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. There is no such thing as a font tag - there used to be but it was deleted from HTML in 1997. You should replace it with a span tag and attach CSS instead.

2. You can't use numbers by themselves after a # in the href as the value after the # points to an id in the page and ids must start with a letter.

3. To generate the code in a while loop you'd need to run the loop using PHP. As you have a fixed number of entries you want for each difection a for loop would work better than a while loop. See http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.for.php

Ah I see. I just had the numbers in the link after the "#" just to clarify. Thank you for pointing out the font tag. For loops, am I looking for a nested loop?

Yes, the inner loop would create the td tags for the one row and the outer loop would create the tr tag for the row and then call the inner loop.
