Link in Alphabetical order - Again
Please,
i have tired to read message in the forum to find how it's possible to made a search in alphabetical order.
I have started in DBMAN for a database with name of lawer in italy.
I need to make a search for the name of lawer in alphabetical order:
A - all name start with "a"
B - all name start with "b"
and so son.
I have read all post:
002829.html, 001224.html, but seem to spak of "browse categories" or other.
My english in not good (sorry).
Someone help me and send the ESACT instruction to made the link?
I have find that:
<A HREF="http://www.gatheringspot.com/cgi-bin/dbman/address/db.cgi?db=address&uid=default&Owner_ID=&Last_Mod=&ID=&First_Name=&Last_Name=^Q+&Maiden_Name=^Q+&First_Year=&Last_Year=&City=&State=&Country=&ma=on&re=on&keyword=&mh=50&sb=2&so=descend&view_records=View+Addresses">
Q</A> |

and that:
<a href="http://www.coco.cc.az.us/cgi-bin/directory/index.cgi?db=default&uid=default&Last_Name=^S&view_records=1&Status=Yes&re=on&mh=10sb=0&so=ascend">S</a> ·

Here is the code they used on those sites:

Code:

print qq|<P><CENTER>|;
$i = 65;
while ( $i < 91 ) {
print qq| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&fieldname=^|;
print chr($i);
print qq|&re=on&view_records=1">[|;
print chr($i);
print qq|]</a>\n|;
++$i;
}
print qq|</CENTER></P>|;
Replace fieldname with the name of the field you want to search on.
