Adding Navigation to the Details Page

[Sweetness]

Hi,

Could someone help, i am wanting to add navigation to my details page to
prevent the user from having to move backwards and forwards between the details
page and the search results page.

Any help would be much appreciated:confused;

Hi Sweetness :-)

What exactly is it you want to achieve?
If you are wanting the same navigation links on the details page as you have
on the rest of your site then you could put your navigation code into an
include file and then add that into each page of your site where you want
the navigation links to be. e.g.
<!--#include file="nav.asp"-->
If you are wanting to know how to create a link then I would suggest that
you go through the Dreamweaver tutorials under "Help>Getting Started and
Tutorials".
If you can give us some more info, i.e server tecnology or ho you want your
site to work etc then we can probably help you better.

Regards
Bren

Hi Bren,

I have a search page where the user can search the database, matching results
will be displayed on the results page and there could be up to 50 matching
results, the user can then click on any one of the results and view more
information on the details page.

What i would now like to do is add some navigation to the details page
allowing the user to view details of the original 50 results, one after the
other without having to keep returning to the results page.

Hope that makes sense,

Many Thanks

Jo

Hi Jo

Use the recordset paging server behavior.

On your details page create a recordset that retrives all the relevant
records that you displayed on your results page instead of the one record
that was chosen, then initiallay just display the record that your user
chose on the results page. Add the recordset paging server behavior onto
your results page and voila you can then page between records on your
details page.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Bren

on your detail page,
dont set it to filter,
let it collect all records,
pass the url parameter, (from the master page)
so it always chooses the right record
and add your navigation buttons

you now have back/forward buttons
