numero = 102547
interpreted = N
texte = yes, this is: WebDNA - Commerce Edition is running asunix-Linux Intel RedHat Apache Module version 6.0a (sorry I wasn't clear about that) the [table] has been working fine for many days. I only just today added the [shownext] and now getting this odd result. I am wondering if anyone besides me has even tried to use [shownext] with a [table]. ??? Meanwhile I got Gary Krockover's [ShowNext] replacement (see the User Contributed Notes for [shownext]) running fine but I miss the automagically placed shownext links appearing above and below the [founditems] loop.. . And anyway if this is a bug, or a feature, or my lame code.. ? I want to know what.
