numero = 45771
interpreted = N
texte = HTML limitation, Some browsers truncate URLS longer then 256 characters.Shownext is a terrible tag.you should really be embedding the search on the page, and only passing the few variables you really need to pass between pages.you might find this page helpful: http://www.burtons.com/webdna/basics09.htmlit explains embedded searches. It doesn't talk about shownext functionality, but that's pretty easy, since you limit your max results, do a [math] trick to get your next start position, and pass that variable, then use it via a startat= search argument Brian B.
