Can I have three html_view_success's, with a different one displaying, depending on what the user has searched for?

I have a button bar at the top of my results screen- I want the button bar to be different depanding on what the user searches for.

I searched the forums already. If its been posted already, I apologize.

thanks in advance!

Sigrid,

Anything is possible in the land of PERL. It's just a matter of how to do it.

However, instead of three different html_view_success routines, I would suggest just a simple comparator in your current routine. I'm not sure what you mean by "what the user has searched for" -- are you talking about a category, or trying to translate what keywords they put in?

Anyway, a quick example of something like this is if they are using a drop-down with three options. You would put this in your html_view_success where you want your button bar to be displayed:


Hope this helps!

Thank you so much!!

I haven't tried it yet, but that looks like exactly what I was trying to do- and its to easy too.

I really need to learn PERL (but then again, I have all you, why do I need to). hee hee.

thanks again, leisurelee

 
So, that you can de-bug your scripts, create custom features that fit your needs, and so that you can start thinking out of the box (codes) and be able to adapt codes provided in this forum into your DBMAN scripts.

  I used <p>print qq| BUTTON BAR | if (($in{'Condition1'} eq 'True') | | ($in{'Condition2'}
eq 'True'));<p>to make it work for either or. I know to swith | | with && if I want to AND it instead of OR. I'm learning- eh?<p>But this doesn't work:<p><table><tr>
print qq| <td><a href="/hum/art.html ">Art and Images Subject Guide</a></td>| if ($in{'SubCategory'} eq 'Art');
</tr></table><p>Is there a way to make a table, but have certain cells appear only if conditions are met- I don't know why my code above isn't working.<p>thanks again!!<p>[This message has been edited by sigrid (edited April 28, 2000).]

How is it not working? What is happening?

Nothing displayed at all- I got a server error. Should that work?

Well, I notice that you have


You need to tell the script to print the opening <table><tr> and closing </tr></table> tags, too. When I first looked at it, I thought it was just the snippet of code that you posted, but now I think there's an error.

I can't be certain without knowing what comes before and after this code, but the following will make this bit of code work:


Give that a try and see if it fixes your problem.

thanks JPDeni!! I'm in the middle of something else right now (trying to figure exporting into access). I'll try that in a few.

Yup, that worked. Thank you!!!
