I don't think it is as simple as just inputting a <a href=""></a> tag. If you look at the source code you will see that each link has its own form and hidden input tags.

Code: Select all

<form name="FORM" method="POST" action="loader.php"><input type="hidden" name="sn" value="11f54587"><a href="loader.php?sn=0be0b4ff"><span style="color:yellow;">Freon22</span></a>&nbsp;</form>
Now within each of those tags you will see that the value of the hidden tag and the value of the loader.php changes each and everytime the page reloads.

Code: Select all

<form name="FORM" method="POST" action="loader.php"><input type="hidden" name="sn" value="cde410c2"><a href="loader.php?sn=8e45c571"><span style="color:yellow;">Freon22</span></a>&nbsp;</form>
The news is just a static read from a database table. You could input these tags at the time of the recordset reading it. But each time you reload the page all of the values will have to be reloaded. I don't think that in itself would be taht big of a deal but what happens if someone wants to read the old news, "1" through "1000"? That will be alot of form tags, input tags, and random number/letter values tags.

Another thing about these values "I will call them serial numbers" for a better name. Spock told me that these values are stored in a temporary table. I had question him about that on if he was talking about session object, a temporary datafile like a library file, or some type of a dataset. Anyway he will not tell me :-( but if it is a temporary file that is held in memory you can see how it could get out of hand very fast.

Shouldn't that be implemented as names are clickable from news.
