========================================
Instructions copy and pasted fro website tutorial
[FONT=Arial]Currently, the menu entries have no links associated to them. Each menu entry should lead to the topic.php page and pass it an URL parameter, which takes corresponding id of the topic as the value. To create the link:
Select the dynamic text labeled {rsTopics.title_top}.
In the Property inspector, click the folder icon next to the Link text box.
Browse to the site root folder on the local machine and select the topic.php file.
In the URL text box, delete the preceding / character, because you need to use the relative path to the file. The URL should be topic.php.
Click the Parameters button next to the URL text box. Dreamweaver opens a dialog box, where you should define the URL parameter associated to this link.
Click the plus (+) button to add a new parameter.
Enter its name: id_top
Enter its value, by clicking in the Value field, clicking the lightning bolt icon next to the Value field and selecting the id_top field from the rsTopics recordset.
Click OK, and then OK again.
After defining the URL parameter, click OK. [/FONT]
