Definitely, this is from a system we have for displaying and editing staff
details.
index_html object:
find_staff is an SQL query:
<!--#in expr="find_staff(search_field=search_type, search_item=search_term)"
size=8 orphan=1 start=query_start-->
blah blah (staff_number is returned from the find_staff SQL method)
<a href="edit_me?staff_number=<!--#var staff_number-->">Edit Me</a>
blah
<!--#/in-->
***
edit_me object:
blah..., the 'if' statement is just so's find_staff_number doesn't complain.
<!--#if staff_number-->
<!--#in expr="find_staff_number(staff_number=staff_number)"-->
clever stuff, using the var's from the find_staff_number SQL method.
<!--#/in-->
<!--#/if-->
(replace 'staff' with 'transaction', add your own nice-looking HTML and
bingo!)
