Just a comment... the submit button/session technique sucks with respect to passing along links to people. I would suggest scrapping that approach and going with a GET approach (where the navigational information is present in the URL). I know my clients almost always want to be able to paste a URL into an email and have the recipient go directly to whatever they are viewing. Maybe that's not an issue for you though... yet ;) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
