When clicked, they each submitted the form again with a different flag set. Along with a session variable storing the "current" page, I was able to code a reasonably neat solution deciding which results to show without having to rewrite any sections of my code. Because these submit buttons are tied to a form at the top of the page, this has limited me to only having the navigational buttons at the top of the results table rather than at the bottom too, but that is perfectly fine in my situation. Jon: Actually, you don't need to use sessions, post, nor get to pass variables between scripts. Here's an example: http://www.webbytedd.com/bb/tedd/index.php Of course, the smart ones on this list will figure it out pretty quickly. I guess I'm not smart. =( If it's fairly obvious, then I'm not seeing it... ~Phil Me neither. I'm guessing: either it's using a file to transfer vars (cookie or server-written file), or... I don't know :P Regards, Thiago

Technically, SESSIONs and COOKIEs are just files as well, so I don't think it's a file. Oh oh oh! I know! He's using the Force! Did I get it right?! ~Philip
