[FX.php List] Dealing with a found set

[Alex Gates]

Hi Dale -

Would you (or anyone else who is feeling generous) mind showing a 
snippet of code you use to do this?
I think seeing the code would help me visualize this a little better - 
it would be a great thing to know.

Do you prefer this method to, say, a LAJAX method - where you have the 
found set at the top and click the links to show the details on the bottom?
