Alphabetic list of categories
Hi, I've another question concerning alphabetic list.
I'd like to have one alphabetic list in
one page where all the categories which
starts with an a is on certain place on the page. This is because I want to have a sort
of navigations with bookmarks on this page. Is it possible to make this page and how.

You would want to do something very similiar to the 'letter.cgi' that was posted here not to long ago. Have a look through the forum (or I think it's in pugdog's faq).

Cheers,

Alex

Code:
WHERE CategoryID Like '$letter%'
.

And this doesn't work as intended. It shows links not Category names. Second of all I would like to have posted all the category names with a somewhere particular on the page og so on with the ones with b ...

Can't you tell me how to do both.
