I have two ZCatalog searches on the same page (in the same DTML method). Each has different fields so they have different numbers of results displayed in two tables.
This works just fine.
What's wierd is that the 'batch_size' code interacts between the two .... You must understand, how batching works:
"sequence-query" is the query string with any "query_start" parameter removed. A "dtml-in" uses the "query_start" parameter to decide where to start displaying the sequence (if not told otherwise with a "start=" argument. If you have several "dtml-in" on the same page, you need several start parameters, one for each "dtml-in". You can use the "dtml-in" argument "start" to tell it which variable should be used. The only remaining thing is to get a query string from QUERY_STRING that no longer contains unwanted "start=..." Elements. That is a task for a small external method. Dieter
