Basic ASP Question?

Question

I am pretty good with VB and looking at some ASP examples I found, I am confident I can pick this up quickly. I have a web site where I have a large table. In each cell of the table, I have text. Is it possible, with ASP, to have a Search field on my site and when I enter the search criteria, it will create AND display a new page with a table which only contains the cells that contain text that matched the criteria?

Thanks,
Joe

Yes and I can think of several ways of doing it of the top of my head. One simple way is to create every cell's text as a label and search the Text attribute of that label. A faster way, performance wise, will be to create a data grid or an XML document to hold all the cell's text and then just filter it through an XSL sheet and redisplay on a new ASP page.
