Hi Ron,

Check out this tag from the dev exchange.

I use it for the same thing and have it sorting by dates, names and
whatever else is needed to sort and display only a few records at a
time.

Works well and simple to implement. It is quite basic but you can just
add to it.

Subject: [cfaussie] Logic help


Hi again.

I have a database with more than 20 results and am limiting the output
to a page to 20. I can't get the logic right to make the second display
page show the next 20 items because I can't use the _ID because the
entries go into the database in a random number fashion. Here is the
current code to display 20 items.

<cfquery name="BODYBUILDING" datasource="#db_datasource#"
username="#db_username#" maxrows="20">
       select *
       FROM athlete
       WHERE  athlete_sport = 'BODY BUILDING'
       order by athlete_surname ASC
 </cfquery>

It seems to me that I might have to make another query that gathers all
the _ID's from the database, and assigns them numbers and then get them
to display in numerical order 20 per page.

Trouble with that is, how do I get the numbers in the first place,
bearing in mind entries in Body Building may have _ID's like: 23, 47,
125, 228, 229, 314 and so on. The _ID's are given as people register
which is totally at random. There are other sports also which have _ID's
given to them, so my initial query must contain the name of the sport,
in this case Body Building.

Any ideas how to get the next twenty ( a different 20) athletes, who are
body builders to display?

Thnx, send any suggestion, I have the whole weekend to try and figure
this out.

Ron...
