I've created a page that has record results appearing in a form, not in a table. I want to be able to page through the form with the navigation bar to access each successive record to appear in text boxes. When doing this as it is, with each new record the page flickers as if loading a new page. I want to be able to go from record to record within the form without the form disappearing from view. Can anyone help me?

There's no 'normal' way to do this. You can try to use a hidden frame where you load the data and then use javascript to write the values into the form every time. But that's maybe a difficult thing to do for you.

Why is it a problem that the page has got to reload every time? Do you only not want this because it doesn't look good, or because of performance issues?

You could try to use Flash, ActionScript and serverside asp to make this really look good. But maybe that is even more difficult.

So my advice: accept the reloading <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>.
