I'm actually not the self appointed "gate keeper". It's more of a community effort. Lots of people complain about the off-topic and stupid (lazy) posts that get put on this list. I myself have been reminded when I was being lazy to do a little work myself. For instance, your request was quite simple if you did a google search for "asp.net pagination". I got tons of results and got the info needed in about 15 seconds.
I'm also into classic cars and do lots of stuff with hot rods and such. I'm sure that someone else on this list probably has knowledge/expertise in this area, but that does't mean I'm going to ask the list about that. There are times when OT questions are posted and nothing is said, but in general, the list as a whole tries to remind everyone to stay on topic. If you want to see examples of how these reminders are stated, look at the responses to last week's firefox arguments. I was trying to be civil and just send it to you as a reminder but it appears that I somehow hurt your feelings by doing so. I'm sorry to hear that you're easily upset and hope you find your answers to your questions.

I have not done ASP in a while so I was simply asking from the this list cause others have in the past. From what I gather this list has quite the diverse community. I hope you correct all future posters as well and make it known that you are the "self-appointed gate keeper" when a poster asks non-specific CF question is absolutely unappropriate. -----Original Message----- From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 10:41 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT-ASP pagination I'm not limited, I could answer your question. I just think there are plenty of ASP lists out there and this list is called CF-talk for a reason. I think there are plenty of people who _could_ answer your question, but that doesn't mean that they should. Filling up this list with OT posts makes it harder for people to use this list for the reason that it is intended. It's one thing to ask an off topic question regarding the use of JS or something with CF but to get to talking about ASP or ASP.net specific code, I just don't think this is the place.

I have been using nothing but ColdFusion for 4 years. Now the company I am with I have unsuccessfully been unable to convince them to use CF. So They have taked me to create a page in which I have comeup with the idea to use pagination. Basically we have a this happened on this day in history database. There can be several things that happen on any particular day. What I want to do is paginate between months. Each month page will list all entries for that month. Does anyone have some code or pointer to get me going in the right direction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187923 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
