Hello to All.
I slightly modified the "Employee Directory" example to suit my needs. In the Default page, there is an "Email" column that, when its value is clicked, the default OS email program launches with the appropriate email address in the "To:" field.
I've added a "Pager" column and want a similar functionality, but with the href going to "http://www.skytel.com/servlet/SendMessage". In addition, I want to pass the {pager} value to that link. Something like href="http://www.skytel.com/servlet/SendMessage?recipients={pager}"
I just need to make sure my syntax is correct. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Glen

I figured out the answer to my own question. It's built right into CSS.
For the grid field, create a link. Then, at the properties panel, use the "Href Source" to create the address. The key step here is to click on the (...) button to the right. This opens a dialog window where you can define what parameters to pass to the linked page, and define what the parameter name is from the linked page.
For my question above, the Parameter source is "pager", and the Parameter name is "recipients" (from the http://www.skytel.com/servlet/SendMessage webpage). Seemingly, you can pass as many parameters as you want. This is slick!
