texte = John: I hope this clarifies my problem: I am using a multiple menu (see: http://24.94.116.14/Briggs/SKU3.tpl). I am able to select from the list more than one item by holding down the control key or command key. The list is drawn from the database. I understand what your saying about searching the database and may have confused it with list drawn from the db. I know the selections from the list are passed by using the form variables so what I need is a search on the database that finds the multiple selection and returns them as line items in the result page. My code looks like this on the search page:
[search db=My.db&neSKUdatarq=find_all&asSKUsort=1] [/search]
My code on the result.tpl looks like this:[foundItems] [SKU] [title] [quantity] $[format .2f][price1][/format] Specs Add to Order [/foundItems]Is this clear?---------- >From: John Butler >To: (WebCatalog Talk) >Subject: Re: Form Variables >Date: Tue, Mar 14, 2000, 10:42 AM >> Eric if you post your actual code then you'll get better help.
