Possible to use a Hotspot in where clause?

Say I've got a map with hotspots on it. I't easy to direct them to seperate pages, but can I use the hotspot ID (or something) in the where clause on the results page?

Thanks much.

Yes, you can use data assist search to pass in a dynamic value to use in the where clause.

Excellent. Might there be a tutorial somewhere?

Hmm, I looked and found no relevant info there. Any ideas?

You would pass a value as part of the url associated with each hotspot so hotspot 1 would link to "yourpage.php?value=1", hotspot 2 would link to "yourpage.php?value=2" and so on

You would then use the value to filter the recordset results.
