I have a repeater connected to a database. I have some cells which are left empty on purpose.

On the site I have a drop down to filter. I need that when a user searches for something an nothing is found an error is displayed and not just a blank page

For instance if you select Padel from first drop down and select XTENSA 140 on the second drop down I wish to have No reords founds or something like that

So when there’s no data to show that matches the filters, you can either write code to make the **No Items Found** message to show, or you can use a simple trick.

Just place your message **"No records found** or something similar and place it behind the repeater (use the **Layers** panel to do so).

This way, when there is no data in the repeater, the text will automatically become visible to the site users.
