I use PEAR's Pager class for this sort of thing. It's highly configurable -- which means it may take a few tries to get it working with your own code, but it *will* work, eventually. Browse for the Pager class at http://pear.php.net -- look in the HTML category. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
