Many web sites have long list of items and descriptions. Often you can click
a link that says NEXT 20 ITEMS. Sometimes you can determine how many items to
show on each page.
How are those web sites made? Is there something that I can add to FrontPage
2003 to create a site like that?
Thanks

That's probably done with database/dynamic content.

You can do a basic sort of thing with the database results wizard in
Frontpage, in that you can display so-many results per page. But if you
explain fully what you want to accomplish maybe someone else can suggest a
solution.

The "feature" is called paging. The results are drawn from a back end
database and presented in pages. To do that, you need to store content
in a database and use script for grabbing the content from the DB and
presenting it as a custom web page dynamically. Thence, the term dynamic
pages (generated on the fly) vs. static pages.

FP has some database wizards for use when you import Access DB files to
web. However, they lack flexibility. For flexibility, you need to learn
basic scripting and database management. You can still use FP as a page
"editor" to manually write and manage the the code for the dynamic pages.

If your web server is IIS, google for ASP and Access database management
tutorials. If your web server is Linux, google for PHP and MySQL.
