[dancer-users] Trapping parameters from a dynamic list of checkboxes.

[John Stoffel]

And I just looked at it again, and it's still not what I want.
Basically I don't need tables of results... or actually that's not
what the customer wants returned.  

It does look really really slick... but not for my needs.  Oh well...

Thanks for the reminder.  Now back to our regular dancer questions....

Such as what's the best way to paginate results nicely?  Ideally using
server side searching... and search forms with multiple search boxes.

The single box google style search isn't what we need.  More something
like the Newegg search term search, where you can add/delete stuff on
the fly.
