Sub-Summary when sorted

[halbj]

I am trying to get my search results format file to appear as a FileMaker layout would look with a sub-summary part in preview mode. ie

Search results

Category1

record1

record2

record3

Category2

record4

record5...... etc

does anyone know a truly dynamic way of achieving this? I don't care if it is a mixture of html/cdml/java whatever.

Cheers - Halbj

I often use Javascript for Sub-Summaries.

Here is a good thread with a variety of examples:

All the best.

Thanks for your post. I have already checked that thread. The issue I have with each of those examples is that the summary is 'defined'. The Java script example refers to a summary of "credit cards, cash and cheques. The results page I am working on may have any number of categories that I want to summarise. For example - I may want to find a list of events for a particular period and sort (Summarise) by username. does this make sense or am I missing something.

I don't have a lot of experience with JS but I think I can understand the example.

Any help would be awsome!

Thanks
