texte = Thanks Grant, for posting solutions to this apparent misunderstanding of the [shownext] stuff. Now, for those of you who are still having problems with this:I've noticed that you still haven't bothered to post your search URLs or your results templates like I've asked you to, so I really don't understand what all your frustration is about. If you *really* want help, you have to give me something to work with, especially when I specifically ask for it ...Look, if you will post your hyperlink searches and your *entire* results templates I will *try* write your [shownext] stuff for you -- later this afternoon -- unless you solve these problems on your own ...If you send me the stuff I asked for, please post your EXACT (meaning cut and paste, do *not* retype anything!) hyperlink searches and results templates to the list. When I finally see those items in a form that I can understand and deal with, I will write your [shownext] stuff for you -- okay?Oh, by the way, it seems like you guys may be asking for two different solutions, so please tell me exactly what you want your [shownext] stuff to do. In other words, do you want to see a link to every group of items that match your search parameters? Or do you want only two links, one for Show Previous Group and one for Show Next Group? >I too have gone through a similar exercise which ended in frustration.
