Spry dynamic Table Navigation

Hi,
I have created a Spry dynamic table from a dataset but wanted to know how I could add record navigation. Ideally, I would like only 15 records to appear and have the user be able to move to the next batch of 15 or back when they want. Also, I would like to put the information of how many records there are in total at the top.

I know I can put navigation on tables made from a recordset, but can I not do the same with a table made from a Spry dataset?

Thanks so much,

Where is the Spry Forum? I'd love to know because I think you're right - I should be checking there!

Spry is still evolving. The best place to get help with Spry is in the
Spry forum.

I did look at the link you supplied and that seemed to be working with dynamic Spry lists. I had inserted a dynamic Spry Table and really would like some record navigation but when trying to use that method it didn't seem to work.

It seems odd that it's so difficult to add navigation to a Spry Table.

Please help.

Yes, it requires hand coding. Dreamweaver provides user interfaces for
only a limited set of Spry features. No plans have been announced for an
updater.

>And will it work if I am exporting a recordset as xml for the dataset?

I haven't tested table navigation myself, but any valid XML source
should work.

Sorry to be so thick!
