I'm looking for a way to have 1 page function as both the listing page and the detail page.

I have a page that has a listing showing only the title field in the right column. I was wondering if it's possible to (on that same page) to set up the left column to display the title and content fields when one of the listings is clicked. This would require that one page to function as both the list page and the detail page.

You can also have the list and detail viewer code on the same page, but not with paging. If you need to page through the records it doesn't work.

Do you have a mockup of the page you're working on?

Thanks,

It looks like the iframe solution will work for what I'm doing.

It can also be done using an include. Why use frames or iframes if you don't need to?

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but it sounds like it. I did the same here:
http://www.allianceinpartnership.co.uk/schoolsmainPage.php

I created a separate page just for the list and named it schoolsList.php then used a php include on the detail page to pull the list through. So in your right column (assuming that's where you want the list) you would use the code:
<?php
include("list.php");
?>

then use the code generator to provide you with the code for the list.php page.

i hope that makes sense - i dont think i;m very good at explaining things!!!!
nikki.
