<@RESULTS>
Syntax
<@RESULTS [ENCODING=encoding]>
Description
Evaluates to the accumulated Results HTML
for the current execution of the application file.
The returned value includes the Results
HTML for all the actions up to, but not including, the current action.
The accumulated Results HTML can be cleared
with the <@PURGERESULTS> tag.
Example
This tag can be used to give a variable the
value of the Results HTML from a database query so that the results
can be used in other application file calls without re-doing the
search. (This technique is useful only with data that does not change
often--a list of product categories, for example.) After generating
the HTML and assigning <@RESULTS> to a variable (cached_list,
for example), subsequent calls to the application file can be handled
by checking the contents of the variable with a Branch action. If
cached_list is not empty, you can immediately return <@VAR
NAME="cached_list" ENCODING="NONE">. If
the variable is empty, you would branch to the normal processing to
query the database.
