Hi, sorry to bother you guys with a simple sytnax question; i have a loop of objects taking place (ie, for page in @pages....xxxxxxx....end) and a link associated to each pages so that in the end it looks like this: page1 (link) page2 (link) page3 (link) . . . page n (link) (all of this done by putting a simple ''link to'' in the for loop.) now i need to seperate two pages
