Use a button to find results based on a previous database select s

Hello,

Does anyone know of a way that after using a select statement to produce
search results produced on a page, a button can be clicked to show further
information relating to the previous search.


For example:

1. a select statement finds a list of cars:
Porshe, mercedes, bmw.

against each of the cars there will be a button that when clicked can show
further information taken from database such as:

convertable, saloon, estate..etc..

Any help would be appreciated

It sounds like you know nothing about ASP, is that right? Nothing wrong with
that: I was once there myself. For my first application, I used a freebie
called GenericDB (www.genericdb.com) written by Eli Robillard to get me
going. I had an application running in a couple days (some of which is still
being used). And, I was able to subsequently study the code to see what it
was doing, realizing after I learned more that it could have been written in
a much cleaner and more maintainable way, and that it used many bad
programming practices that made it less scalable than it could have been.
But it did server the purpose and I recommend it to you.

Perhaps in your recordset looping somehow put together a dynamic
querystring such as:

">Click for
details
