Trying to loop for letters

texte = I'm wondering what the best method would be to generate a heading at the top of a results page that gives a listing of the letters in the alphabet as anchored links (like the results page for http://maps.nemonline.org/). It's a no brainer to just put a hard coded list there but how would I go about only listing the letters that have results in the search, and then break up the listing into the alphabetical sections. Is this the kind of thing that would require 26 showifs at the top of the page setting variables and then 26 more showifs in the listing or is there a more elegant way?Mike Davis Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
