Global to make each entry searchable
Hi:

I have had a couple requests to add some addoitional functionality to BCDB, and I am not quite sure where to start.

Here is the problem. I have a list of people who worked on a cartoon... let's say Voice Actors. It has been requested I make EACH voice actor name "clickable" to see the whole body of work they have done.

I see an easy, cheesy way to do this... and then I can imagine a very complicated way, that is well beyound my knowledge to even know HOW to do.

The easy, cheesy way is to make a global to take a while cast list list- something like: Clarence Nash (Donald Duck), Pinto Colvig (Goofy), Florence Gill (Clara Cluck), Fred Mertz

and seperate by both commas and ", (", extrace the names, put a search href around them, and spit out the global. Now that I think about that, it really would NOT be all that easy, would it?

The other idea I had was to create a table and index with all the names- but I have no idea how to do that, or if it would work...

So I figured I would throw this out, and see if anyone had any ideas how to maybe get this going!

Thanks!
