dynamically create page layout

Can anyone offer any suggestions on the following scenario. I want to query
a database field named "category". Based on the value contained in the
field "category", I want to have different page layouts created and
populated with the recordset fields.

So, as a very simple example. Say I have two different values for the
category field "cat" and "dog". When I query for "cat" the page would
dynamically build a two column two row layout. When I query for "dog" the
page would dynamically build a three column, three row layout. Something
like that. I am using ASP.

I'm interested in suggestions or better methods to accomplish this task.
Thanks for any input.

D,
presuming that this info is coming from the same recordset displayed on the
same page ....
a. a repeat region would probably be in order
b. the 'cat' has less columns (rows are repeat region controlled),
therefore a simple 'hide if empty' should hide the third column which only
applies to 'dog'
c. 'horizontal looper' extension might be good, plus a 'hide if empty'
one too
