Hi Folks
Let's say I offered the user a form with 2 fields, id and (Winemaker's)
name.
The user enters B% for the name's value, and, using Rose, I know there
are 18 matching records.
But it happens I'm using a per_page of 10 (say) to call
get_winemaker_iterator(), so the first call returns records 1 .. 10 to
the user.
What's a good way to display buttons so the user can page forward to get
records 11 .. 18, and (later) back from page 2 to page 1?
Alternatives:
o I could pre-populate the form, and offer Next and Previous buttons,
besides the Submit button. Then I'd have to also offer a Clear button
for when the user wishes to start a new search
o I could not use that form, but create a separate one, with previous
input used to populate hidden fields, so the only fields visible are
Previous and Next
o I could use a cookie to send the previous input around, and again
offer just Previous and Next (separate from the original form)
o I could use non-cookie sessions, but otherwise work as per the
previous item
Comments?
