This is a good tutorial but i need a filtered record set in my detail page.  Does any one know the systax to do this where the detail page already has a URL parameter passed to it?

Cheers!!

Hi Ben,

I haven´t understood very well what do you need. Could you be more specific?

Thx,

P.

Thanks for replying! I'm no ASP guru and might be doing things a bit screwy so let me know! ;-)

I've got a table containing a bunch of FAQs. Each FAQ is categorized in a column as Windows, Linux or General.

My first page is an index page with 3 links to a "topic Index" of FAQs (e.g the master page from this tutorial).  The three links are simple like this:  topic_index.asp?os=linux /os=windows or os="general". 

When you click a link, the second page: "topic index" page is poulated and filtered with a list FAQs as appropriate.  You then click one of the FAQs in the list for more information aka detail page (third page).

In order to do the filtering to the "topic index" (and in my very limited knowledge of asp) my topic index page needs the recordset to have had the URL os="linux" etc to be passed to it.

Then my (third page) detail page needs another URL parameter in the record set so it picks up the correct FAQ from the topic index list.

So basically i [think] I need the the (third) detail page to have been filtered and so cannot use the method i the tutorial to navigate to other records.  Does that make any sense?! Or am i completely missing the point!

Thanks in advance

Ben

Did you try with no success? Sorry then. I wrote this tutorial 3 years ago bearing the ASP Users in mind. By that time, Dreamweaver did not even support the PHP Server Model. Later on, when it was bundled in the Dreamweaver MX Package, i do not remember wether the "Move to a Specific Record" SB was included in the PHP Server Model or not. If not, this tutorial will not be in help for you.
Pb with PHP...

Hi :) I'm trying to use this tuto on DMX2004 with PHP but it doesn't work... Is there a way to do it ? I've got the "Move to a Specific Record" extension. All works well without pagination. All works well also without the move to specific record. But both are not working together... Did I miss something ?? Please help ! I'm working on that for several days and my head will blow up !!! Thanks in advance. Jerome
