recordset paging+linking to self

passing url variable to self page with recordset paging

[oates]

I've built a dynamic page with recordset paging, loading 10 thumbnails dynamically per page. Each thumbnail has a link with a url variable (?image=whatever.jpg) to load a larger image on the page. This works great with just one page eg. page.php?image=whatever.jpg, but when I page to the next page, it's nolonger page.php, so when a thumb is clicked it loads up the original page with the image, and you have to scroll through the records to get back to where you were.

I've tried binding the recordset paging link to the thumbnail, and can get it to work, but as you click thumbs, the url is not refreshed, the variable is just added to the end of the previous url, so if you click a few thumbs you end up with a very long url.

I hope this makes sense?

any help or other ideas of how to do this would be great.

Thanks,
-Jackson

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, oates.

How are you building the url link in your script? That is what seems to be the problem ... if I understand you correctly.
