I've got a question/issue that I want to bounce off the list.
I have a list that extends over multiple pages. there might be 200
items,

would be
too long. i can break the list up, so i can have it be displayed over
multiple pages. however, i want the user to select different items
from the
list. given that the selected items might be over different pages,
what's
the best way of keeping a running track of the items that have been
selected??
I could have each page be a form, and do a post/get where i then
keep track
of the selected items from page to page, but that would appear to
get ugly.
i'm looking for pointers to other sites/code that might have already
implemented this kind of scenario.
thoughts/pointers would be appreciated...
Accumulate them in the session. When done, and before final action you
could let them view a summary of selected items and allow deletion of
any entries they don't want.
Unless they're likely to select hundreds of items I'd either go with a
persisted GET var or a cookie. No need to drag server-side storage
into this.
