I believe the standard usage is putting the start and end table-tags in 
the headertemplate and footertemplate. I do the same thing in Visual Studio.

They do it the same way on a page like this:
http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/aspnet_repeater.asp

The reason for putting the start and end tags in the header and 
footertemplates is. If nothing is going to be rendered in the table fx. 
the user don't have anything in the shopping basket, you'll not get any 
waste html on the page.

If you but the table tags outside of the repeater you'll end up with 
<table></table> on the page, which looks kind of strange.

A solution is of course to put the table-tags inside a asp:placeholder, 
which is set to visible=false, if nothing is going to be rendered in the 
table, but that is extra work.


Best wishes,
Kim
