Hyperlink in DRW

[Guest]

My database results wizard gives me a list of names. I want to be able to
click on one of the names and it will then show the full details for that
name in the database (address, telephone etc)

Preferably I would like it to resove to the same page where I would have
another DRW side by side. So... you click on the name in the left hand
column and all the details come up in the right hand column.

Can someone talk me though this? Many, many thanks.

This: http://www.spiderwebwoman.com/tutorials/picklist.htm will do what you
want, although not on the same page.

Thanks for the fast response. Any ideas how do accomplish this on the same
page?

Thanks.

You can't, unless you really know how to write ASP/VBScript, as the query for the additional details
must be submitted back to the database, which is easier to accomplish when posting to a different
page.

Thanks for that - but I wonder if my solution will work> Modyfying the
Database Interface wizard? the only thing is, putting the frames side by
side - when I click on a database ID in the first frame, it opens a new
window instead of placing it in the second frame - Where am i going wrong??

thanks.

You have to set the target value of the link to the name of the frame you want the result displayed
in.

Thomas, Must be doing something wrong. I clicked on the ID hyperlink,
selected target and set it to the name of the frame - It still opens the
frame in a new window.

Here's the code in the database_editor.asp:
<frameset framespacing="1" frameborder="1" border="1" cols="*,51%">
<frameset rows="35%">
<frame name="list" src="list.asp" target="detail">
</frameset>
<frame name="detail" src="detail.asp" target="_self" scrolling="auto">
<noframes>

Where lefthand frame is List and the righthand frame is detail.


Any clues?

Thanks.

View the page source from the browser and make sure your target values are spelled correctly.
