Great screencast. What if i wanted to redirect to a different page from the results in the drop down?
For example you select Jack Doe and you pass and personID through the url to a page of all Jack Doe’s contact information.
Thanks again.
Looks great, nice job on the screencast really helped out. Can you explain how to direct a user with a submit button? Also if you draw it from an xml file or a database is that possible?
