html code built from queried dataset not formatting correct
-
I have built a page with css style layout. for the content div of the page I populate a dataset from an access database. I then have a string variable which i set to equal all the entries from the dataset. I then populate a label with that string (which has html tags in it) to build the page content. My problem is twofold: A) the html tags I use are

Currently there are around 4 entries. The first 3 entries display with the correct layout, but the 4th entry

Is there a restriction on the size or type of data that can be pulled from the db and populated into the dataset? Thanks so much for the help!!
