hi tedd...
no offense... but how does this get me to where i was talking about
going???
this is simply a demo of breaking a list up across multiple pages...
thanks
No offense taken.
I read:
I have a list that extends over multiple pages. there might be 200
items,
and i don't want to have the items listed on the same page as it
would be
too long. i can break the list up, so i can have it be displayed over
multiple pages.
And I thought that you were asking for a way to do that.
However, now seeing what you actually asked, I would use a database to
record each item the user picked and then when displaying the pages
again, would check the dB first to see if the item should be noted as
checked or not. I would tie it all together with a session.
If your user wants to check-out, then you have a record of all the
items he selected during his visit and can show them on a single page.
This of course would require the user to post/get each page UNLESS you
use ajax and write to the dB via a slave php script. That's not all
that difficult to do.
In any event, those are the two ways I would consider.
Cheers,
tedd

Hi.
I've got a question/issue that I want to bounce off the list.

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...
Without reading any one else's reply, here's something you might
consider.

I want to suggest a solution that might get your life easier. Why don't
you group those items and make then put each group in a page. Your user
will choose the first group will post the data (say using a submit
button labeled "Next >>") and then you can get him to the next group.
You can keep the data in a db table and then when your user finishes
choosing the items you can give him the option to change any of the
categories you have.
In that time you can allow him to edit and go back to the final step. If
of course it is possible to group the items and make a logical division.
