I am still stuck
I now have this in the navigation page
<?php
if (isset($_GET['tablename'])) {
echo "loaded <b>{$_GET['tablename']}</b>";
} else {
"<i>$tablename</i> did not get sent";
}
?>
this gets the tablename from the previous page from the dropdown menu
but still the other pages are not picking it up :(
Please i need to get this working
Cheers
paul
