Google style record navigation

[Newsgroup_User]

hi,

I have a previous / next record navigation on my coldfusion pages. Id like
to create a navigation tool similar to the google format where users can
jump around records. eg: Result Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next

Does anybody have good code or a tutorial with advice on how to create this?

Thanks

The problem is there are a hundred different ways to go about doing this. How are you currently querying your data, and what DBMS are you working with? Each DBMS has its own best-practices on paginating queries.

I currently use a MS SQL Database, with a << previous | next >> reocord
navigator. But the problem is users cant jump back to the start or end
without paging through all the results. heres my current code


<!------Number of records to display---------->
<cfparam name="StartRow" default="1">
<cfparam name="MaxRows" default="8">

<cfset Previous=Val(StartRow)-Val(MaxRows)>
<cfset Next=Val(StartRow)+Val(MaxRows)>

<!---------Calculate variable for display xx-xx of total records-------->

<cfset display=StartRow+MaxRows-1>
<cfif #display# gt query.recordcount>
<cfset display=query.recordcount>
</cfif>

<!----- Previous/next buttons--------->

<cfoutput>Products #StartRow# - #display# of
#query.recordcount#</cfoutput><br />
<cfoutput><cfif Previous GT 0>
<a
href="#client.URLtemplates#/security_locks.cfm/hurl/StartRow=#Previous#/security_locks.cfm">??
BACK</a>
</cfif></cfoutput><cfoutput>
<cfif Next LTE query.recordcount>
<a
href="#client.URLtemplates#/security_locks.cfm/hurl/StartRow=#Next#/security_locks.cfm">|
NEXT ??</a>
</cfif></cfoutput>
