Hi there,
I have created a highly customized concoction of dbman, it's a gallery of Apple Newton MessagePad users. (Newton MP is the father of all PDA's). ( http://newtongallery.virtualave.net ).
Everything is working just fine, however, I have gotten a modification request that makes sense and would like to implement.
I have defined hard coded links to list the database's entries in alphabetical order, sorted by people's last name.
A little odd are the links to the remaining pages, you know, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 >> at the top and bottom of the search result page.
In my case it would fit much better to offer alphabetical links, for instance, like so:
Ar.. Et.. Ge.. Tr.. Va.. >>. The links would (in this example) stand for people's last names, eg. Arlen, Eton, Geronimo, Trebeck, Vaughn.
The alphabetized links would merely replace the numbered links, ie. the links would still point to the same pages. Those people just happened to be the first on each of those pages.
Does someone have an idea how to do this ?
Georg
