texte = Hi All,I haven't posted much here before but have been developing for WebCatalogsince last year, and have appreciated all the comments and tech help hereregarding version 2. (I have a photo location database up at kiote.com,FYI.)Here are a few things I'd appreciate some help in sorting out:*1) How to let the user specify a result page when initiating aconfigurable search from a webpage.I've tried the following which doesn't work:

View the results with:Photos and text descriptionsPhotos onlyetc.(Maybe ACTION can't be moved out of the FORM tag like this?)Two separate SUBMIT buttons would be okay, but how to do that withoutrepeating the 4 search options on the forms?*2) How to do a combination AND search triggered from a webpage withseveral different options pop-up lists? I understand how to hard code acombination search using the comma, but how do you achieve the same thingas a form?*3) Is there a wildcard search syntax like * or ? that would let me type injohn* in a form text field and retrieve Johnson, Johnston, John123, etc.?*4) How to present retrieved results in a table 3 columns wide and 5 rowstall per page? I read here recently how to color the Nth returned record byseeing if the index was divisible by N, but that was in a single columnmodel....Thanks in advance for any help. Please copy your response to my email, asI'm in digest mode here.-------Richard Shapirorshapiro@infoasis.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
