looking for some help.
would like to have users view "keywords" from alphabetical list.
for example, instead of seing an alphabetical list 300 words long. I would like them to click on the linked letter "A" and have all keywords starting with the letter A returned.
first off, a little bg to help.
top of the page, I call master keyword list
===========
<%
library('global.np');
catalogName = Request.getParameter('searchCatalog');
if (catalogName.length == 0)
catalogName = CatalogSet.getAliases()[0];
fieldList = CatalogSet.get(catalogName).getTypeAll();
masterKeywordList = CatalogSet.getMasterKeywordsAll();
// Truncate the master keyword list if it is too long
masterKewordCount = masterKeywordList.length;
if (masterKeywordList.length > 128)
masterKeywordList = masterKeywordList.slice(0, 128);
%>
==========
further down the page i call the entire contents of the master keyword list for that page
==========
<% if (masterKeywordList.length > 0) { %>
<% processArray(masterKeywordList, %>
<A HREF="/netpub/server.np?quickfind=<%= masterKeywordList[x] %>&catalog=<%= catalogName %>&site=<%= encodeURI(Request.getParameter('site')) %>&template=results.np">
<%= masterKeywordList[x] %></A>
<BR>
<% ); %>
<% } %>
=========
i sure do hope this provides some info for you to work on. i will check back tonight to see any comments. Thank you so much!

you would then just have to scan contents of array checking first letter and transfer wanted ones in a select ...
but thats where I am getting caught up.
how do i script scan of the first letters only.
or it should look like that ...
ill try and work that in later today
and of course,
ill let you know how it works out
