I am creating a documentation management system for a client using Dreamweaver CS3.I understand the dynamic process pretty well using the built-in tools. But I need to go beyond the master-detail page sets.
This is what I want to happen:
- Customer is presented with a dynamic list of product categories.
- Customer clicks on a category and is presented with a dynamic list of products in that category
- Customer clicks on a product and is presented with the documentation for that product.
I can create all of these individual pages, but I don’t know how to make the transition from one page to the next happen.
I know the answer lies in passing along information from one page to the next, but I am more of a designer than programmer and need a little direction.
If someone could help it would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I found the answer to this myself. Dreamweaver makes easy work of this for a non-programmer.
When linking to the next dynamic page, I needed to select Parameters [next to the URL window] in the link dialog box in Dreamweaver. In the recordset on the next page, I needed to filter the results for the variable passed by the previous page.
