How to make Previous or Next page funtion in a frame?

[raulgh]

Dear all:

I am newbie to HTML and have been asking several simple questions for a couple of days in this forum. Thanks a lot for your guys help. But this time, I really have a pretty advanced question. How to make the frame display only a portion of the result and allows users to click "previous" or "next" link to travel forward or backward to the rest of the portion. Something like Google's search result. When user click previous or next, the page will change accordingly.

Hi vbkris, juz now I check the PHP forum, but I couldn't find the relevent post. It is not in the FAQ session as well. Is it possible that you give a link to those posts or do you still remember roughly when did you answer that question in the PHP forum?

If doing this is php keep track of the result length and the current result

ie if your results have a total of 50 values but you only show 10 results per page then...

keep track of the current page number by passing it back to php thru the querystring.

Once you have got your results check the querystring for the curent page number then loop from the
(current page number * no. of results per page) to
((current page number * no. of results per page) + no. of results per page)

hopefully you get the picture

on error goto hell

Hi Raulgh,

Actually this can be done with HTML and very simple javascript. For an example see:

raulgh,
i will give u a start. in mysql u have the capability to pick certain number of records just like that:
e.x:
$sql="select * from table limit 5,10"

will throw 10 records from the 5th record...
