Help in While loop

[hiti]

Plz help me with the syntax of while loop when i applied the below code without while loop it works but when i put in the while loop as shown below it gives o/p like
<depth=902+10>
<table>
</table>



Here is my code

<script language=vortex>
<EXPORT $db QUERY USEROK>
<EXPORT $cq QUERY USEROK><!-- users catno query -->
<EXPORT $Catno QUERY USEROK><!-- users catno query -->
<timeout=-1></timeout><!-- no overall script timeout -->
<a name=main public>
<depth=$start+10>
<while $start lt $depth>
<table>
<$db=/usr/local/morph3/texis/TechNews/db1>
<if $dt neq "">
<sql db=$db "select id, convert(Catno,'int') Catno, SiteName, StoryTitle, StoryDescription, Url, BloggerName,convert(Modified, 'date') Modified from html where SiteName!='' and StoryTitle!='' and StoryDescription!='' and Modified >= '$dt'">
<tr>
<td>$id
<td>$Catno
<td>$SiteName
<td>$StoryTitle
<td>$StoryDescription
<td>$Url
<td>$BloggerName
<td>$Modified
</sql>
<else>
<sql db=$db "select id, convert(Catno,'int') Catno, SiteName, StoryTitle, StoryDescription, Url, BloggerName, convert(Modified, 'date') Modified from html where SiteName!='' and StoryTitle!='' and StoryDescription!=''">
<tr>
<td>$id
<td>$Catno
<td>$SiteName
<td>$StoryTitle
<td>$StoryDescription
<td>$Url
<td>$BloggerName
<td>$Modified
</sql>
</if>
</table>
<start=$start+1>
</while>
</a>
</script>

The query string contains the value of start variable.
I want to pick 10 records at a time that is the reason i have put it into the while loop.
Plz guide how to fix this problem
Thnks

I'm moving this to the Vortex group as this is not related to webinator 2.5 where it was posted.

<depth=$start+10>
should be
<$depth=($start+10)>

And
<start=$start+1>
should be
<$start=($start+1)>
