Hm. For me it looks much like a problem with your eyes ;)
Whats wrong with both the solutions we gave?
Why do you do it wrong with lots of dtml when there
are 2 examples that show it can be done within 3..4
lines? IF you _really_ want DTML here,

you have <dtml-in methodcall><tr><dtml-in sequence-item
mapping><td><dtml-var
whateverthenameofthecolumnis></td></dtml-in></tr></dtml-in>
