Displayin message and fixing the number of rows in a table

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement like this

there is a table, where i need to diplay a message when there are no records and no rows should be visible on that table.

Also, when the records are populated from the context, i need to fix the number of rows in that table and display the records.

Please let me know hw this can be achieved.

Also in the table I have Link to URL, please let me know how to handle this reference, when i set the reference Property, its giving me an error stating that the file doesn't exist when the table gets loaded.

Thanks in Advance

Regards,
