i have set up my site so i have a cf tree with artist as the
parent and their album names as the children.......the albums are
clickable links that display information dynamically on the page.
This was done by setting up a query using WHERE
albuminfo=#url.id(primary key for the album information)# and
setting up a link from the album name node in the cftree to feed
the album info primary key into the url...
href='index.cfm?id=#URLEncodedFormat(ID)#'>........
so when i click on the album the album info changes on the
screen accordingly..this all works beautifully...
However, I now want to add an index to the page...which will
perform the same function of filtering....i have a query
SELECT(List of artists)
FROM (my artist table)
WHERE firstletter= "?"
I have a column in the table called first letter...which
contains the first letter of every artist....
I now want set up a clickable link that feeds to the url of
the page again...so when i click on (a) the url changes to
index.cfm?a
I have got it working to the point where the url changes to
index.cfm?a as a test inanother page...but when i have the index in
the same page as the cftree, when i click on the index the error
message id is undefined appears...which is because no URL parameter
for the albuminfo exists when the url is determined by the index
letter.
I am unsure of how to arrange this so i can use both in the
same page
thanks
