I'm building a site that is very much database driven. I'm trying to generate a list of items on one page with each item having a hyperlink to another page that will show detailed information for that item. I can create the pages, but I can't quite figure out how to pass the key value from the hyperlink to the query for the summary page.

This is the code I'm using to create the list of hyperlinked items in the "list of items" page:

<!--#in EventsByStateQuery --> <a href="EventSummary?EventID=<!--#var EventID -->"> <!--#var EventName --></a><br> <!--#/in-->

This works well.

What I'm not successful at is passing the EventID to the second query. I've found I can hard code it as such:

<!--#in expr="EventSummaryQuery(EventID='1')" --> <!--#var EventName --> <!--#/in -->

But I can figure out how to pass the EventID dynamically.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi, I have an app with a similar functionality. Your second SQlMethod should have a parameter(say par_EventID) and in this case your hyperlinks generator code looks like this: <!--#in EventsByStateQuery --> <a href="EventSummary?par_EventID=<!--#var EventID -->"> <!--#var EventName --></a><br> <!--#/in--> And your summary page: <!--#in EventSummaryQuery --> <!--#var EventName --> <!--#/in --> Cheers, Arpad ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Kiss Árpád akiss@geometria.hu ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
