Help! Thread Per Page

[lminmei]

I want to create something like how tek-tips have here with the "threads per page" module:

I want the option to choose the number of threads on a specific page... like this one. but when i created my code on the page:

<cfoutput>
<form name=&quot;selectrow&quot; action=&quot;forum.cfm?maxrows=#maxrows#&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<select name=&quot;maxrows&quot; onChange=&quot;submit()&quot;>
<option value=&quot;&quot;>Select
<option value=20>20
<option value=30>30
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<cfoutput>

CF Server tells me that the variable #maxrows# does not have a value. Which is true. So I set a <cfparam> to declare the &quot;maxrows&quot; variable at the beginning of the page. But then when i choose either a 20 or 30 in the drop-down menu to choose the number of records. The page doesn't update to reflect the new number of threads. What am I doing wrong or am i missing something else?

the &quot;old&quot; page remains hidden in the cache
check for &quot;cache&quot; issues in this forum, the html & css one, and the jscript one as there are many solution depending on what you want

iza,

thanx for replying so soon but i don't think its a cache problem.
cuz...
first when i click a link to the Forum page....the url is:
forum.cfm?forum=1
and i set a <cfparam name=&quot;maxrows&quot; default=&quot;10&quot;>
then i call this parameter in a <cfoutput maxrows=#maxrows#>

and on that same page, i have a drop-down list (refer to my first question submission ^) to change the number of records to display.

So my question is this: how to I change the default value of 10 to the value that i selected in the drop-down list? so that my output records can reflect the number selected in the drop-down list. Its almost exactly how the people here at tek-tips did it. ???
