Hello!
Some help from someone who knows what's up would be great!
I have a page with 1 menu and 2 iFrames here. On this page, what I am doing is creating a sort of browse function where users can select between various options in the main menu, whereupon they will be presented with another set of options in Iframe #1, whereupon a menu of links to selected pages on my site will be generated in Iframe #2 based on the choices made in the main menu and Iframe #1. (take a look at the link, it will make more sense.)
What I'm stuck on is how to get the final "browse" results to display based on the specific criteria. In other words, how do I tell the page within the 2nd iFrame to look in a specific folder (or folders), pull out specific pages (tagged somehow using IDs or some other method) use the html <title> and URL to formulate a link for each page, and then display those links in a list form in iFrame #2?
I have never used a database before and only sort of know how they work. I've used some PHP before, but not in conjunction with a DB. Is this something that needs to be done with a database or can this be done using html files and PHP scripts? Or am I completely off track and does anyone have suggestions on how you would do this?
Thanks in advance.
