dont think I was clear enough this creates the form print start_multipart_form (POST,'con_role_upd.pl'); print "Choose Id",textfield('id2','0'); print "<br />"; print "<BR />"; [EMAIL PROTECTED](); #print @value; $row1=$dbh->prepare("SELECT tb_contact_role.id,contact_id,type_of_contact,description,priority FROM tb_contact_role LEFT JOIN lk_sort_of_contact ON type_of_contact=type_code WHERE contact_id ILIKE ?"); my $idsel=$id; $row1->bind_param(1,$idsel); $row1->execute(); while(($id1,$contact_id1,$type_id,$type,$priority) = $row1->fetchrow_array()) { #print $id1,$contact_id1,$type,$priority; print font {-style=>'background-color: #F8FC8C;color: blue'}; print "Roles for Contact"; print end_font; print p; print font {-style=>'background-color: white;color: blue'}; print "Role ID",textfield(-name=>'id1'.$id1,-value=>$id1,-style=>'background-color: #C59E65;color: white'); print "Role ID",textfield(-name=>'type_id1'.$id1,-value=>$type_id,-style=>'background-color: #C59E65;color: white'); print "Type of Contact",textfield(-name=>'type'.$id1,-value=>$type,-style=>'background-color: #C59E65;color: white'); print "priority",textfield(-name=>'priority'.$id1,-value=>$priority,-style=>'background-color: #C59E65;color: white')}; print br; print br; print br; } print submit; print end_form; This results in a html page of forms which is populated, I can tab through the fields, edit etc, but if I do a control F for instance, the values in the fields are not found. What I would like is for users to be able to search for a value and then go tothat record > -- > _Sx_ http://youve-reached-the.endoftheinternet.org/ _____ > perldoc -qa.a | perl -lpe '($_)=m("(.*)")' | grep Martian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
