After creating the search/results pages (see Building search/results pages (ColdFusion, ASP, JSP, PHP)), you must create links on the results page that open the update page and pass the ID of the record that the user selected. The update page will use this ID to find the requested record in the database and display it.
The record ID is passed to the update page in a URL parameter. For more information, see URL parameters.
The Go To Detail Page dialog box appears.
Make a note of the name of the URL parameter because you'll use it in the update page later.
Dreamweaver inserts a special link in the page. When the user clicks the link, a URL parameter containing the record ID is passed to the update page.
The next step in creating a record update page is to retrieve the record to update. See Retrieving the record to update (ASP and JSP).
