Tabbed Buttons & Cards Question

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Jim,

An alternative is to only store the data in the
substack, and have the 'next' and 'previous' buttons
retrieve and store the data from the substack (or a
database for that matter [*]), and display it in your
main stack.
That way you don't have to go to another stack, and
you can use your 'tabbed' approach.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

[*] Serendipity Database Binary by Rob Cozens is a
good choice if you want to keep everything in stacks.
