[SOLVED] HELP! Struggling to understand navigation based record selection.


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I'm creating a dynamic website with a products table.  Each record has fields to distinguish the product by category, group, type, etc.  I want to create one products page to display the products, but I need to select them based on one or more of the distinguishing fields.  I have created the site navigation (SPRY horizontal drop-down) for the purpose of selecting products based on their distinguishing features, e.g. Fruits & Vegetables > Fruits > Melons.

 

What I need to know is how do I make the navigation link open the products.php page and show only the products that match those criteria, in the above example, Melons.  Do I need to create a recordset (Melons, etc.) for each possible search criteria and reference that in the navigation link?  Or can I use one general recordset, which contains all of the fields I may need to search, that can somehow be limited through the navigation link?  It seems to me that having as many recordsets in a page as there are choices, would be unwieldy and needlessly complex.  How is this normally handled?  And how would it be done using DWCS3?

 

Many many thanks.
