I selected values from my table, and wanted to display them two separate times. In the first instance, I wanted to display all cells in a table, and this works. In the second instance, I wanted to make a drop down from one of the columns. Only the first one works; how can I get both to work? I also need all of the rows in the table to display, which is why I thought a while loop was a good idea. But please correct me if I’m wrong in my thinking. Thanks.
