This looks very promising to me. I need to study it further.
After breakfast. My quick test just now was:
I clicked on one of your blue links at top. This got me an
address I wanted to see in the url bar. I got
<http://bootnic.atwebpages.com/DataRowSelectExample.php?row=1#j-kl
o70001>
I notice that to get a different row I need to change both the
"row=..." and of course, the end number 7000... in the url bar.
This does the trick of directing a complete outsider to the table
with a particular row highlighted. This might well do me! Thanks
for this. I am almost sure to use it. Will let you know how it
goes.
(Hey BootNic, because the php is not linked and named, how can I
name it in your honour as with a previous bit of js you made a
while back? I will have to sprinkle some comments about in the
html <g>)
