Everything you need to know, is in the manual, in the dbform tag. It's about using the attribute "tableList". Although it's quite hepfull using this feature, I have to inform you that it's buggy. Or to be more accurate, it's incomplete: In previous messages, I reported that using this feature for viewing data from two or more tables, navigation buttons (aka first, last, previous, next, new - didn't check for insert, update and delete) do not work. But for *only* viewing a data list, it's a simple, easy and quick solution. If you need data manupulation from the list, then you have to find a database with views support (MySQL guys report that views support will be added; in version 5). (To find more about this "problem", you'll have to see tomcat's -or any jsp server you're using- output, plus some digging in the sources.) >Where can I find a complete description of "db tags"? > You can simply download the manual (in .doc format) from the site: http://www.dbforms.org/usersguide.html Stratos Nikolaidis Thessaloniki, Greece ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
