[lookup db=....&value=[thevalue]&returnfield=title][/raw][/text][search ...] [founditems] [myLink] [/founditems] [/search]This has always been an easy way to create a variable once at the top of the page, and then use it any number of times further down on the same page -- while preventing the webdna code inside the text variable from being interpreted until the variable tag is used further down on the page -- such as inside the founditems context in this example. -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome ------------------------------------------------------------- My programmers will write WebDNA code for you at $27 an hour! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
