Before I wander off into uncharted territory has anyone done this? (yep, I RTFM). I have a a sql db I need to allow searches on and I'd like to allow the user to search one table for a match and recieve a list of returns. I want each returned item to be a hot link to a multitable query, nothin new here at all. Search table foo for matches with a "like" select, user clicks on an item and a new query is run using params from the clicked link. The next page would be the result of the multitable query. I've not a clue how I should format the sytax for first result returned using DTML. Before I start into it has anyone else done this yet?
