The only solution I can see, is to replace the shonext link with a shownext *form* where you put all the values into hidden fields in a form and add a button instead of the text link.If, on the other hand there are just 19 departements, you could do something like:[search db=Departments.db&neDepartmentIDdata=0&NameEnsort=1&NameEnsdir=as] [founditems]
[/founditems] [/search]and then add something like:woDepartmentdatarq[showif [DE10]=T]DE10+[/showif][showif [DE20]=T]DE20+[/showif][showif [DE30]=T]DE30+[/showif]... ...[showif [DE180]=T]DE180+[/showif][showif [DE190]=T]DE190[/showif]to the search criteria on the search results page. That'd solve the problem Brian pointed ot too.Btw, I'm sure somebody has a simpler syntax to achieve the same, but I'm in a bit hurry right now, and besides, my WebCatalog is too old to support [loop] so I don't really know how that tag works.Frank Nordberg http://www.musicaviva.com ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
