Question
Jump to search term in a query output...
Hi,
I have the results of a query outputted in a table. Depending on the user, this can be a longish query - maybe 100+ results. All these results have a checkbox next to them. The user checks the records they need to select, then submits the form to take that list of records in the "check" variable to another page which processes it.
What I'd like to be able to do is provide a search box on top of this table, for the user to type in a search term in the record they want to find. Then, I'd like the page to jump down to that record so the user can check it. But here's the kicker - I don't want to lose any other already-checked boxes. So the form variable needs to persist, even if this is done multiple times.
Any ideas on how this might be accomplished? I don't mind if the search has to be tied just to one field, etc. And I'm not asking anyone to write the code for me. Just point me in the direction of the right technique/technology, if ya can.
Thank you!
