Newbie Building Site with Drop Down Inputs: How to Link Pages and LookUp User Input

Greetings! I am new to Corvid and programming in general. I am creating on a site where registered users can look up data from my own database. I have created a main page with drop down menus for the MANUFACTURER and YEAR of the information the user wants to look up. I now need to learn how to connect this to a page where the user can input additional information to gain the details they seek.

I think I need to create a subpage to my main page. My questions are:

  1. From my MANUFACTURER and YEAR drop down menus, what code do I need to link the user’s input to a subpage for that specific MANUFACTUER and YEAR?

  2. Once on this MANUFACTURER and YEAR subpage, the user will input additional information either by drop down or text input which will then search my database and display the desired information. Since there are discrete inputs the user can search for (COLOR, SIZE, etc.), would a drop down or a text box be better?

  3. How do I perform a “LOOKUP” function on a subpage in Corvid?

  4. What do I need to display this “LOOKUP” information being requested by the user?

Attached is a screen shot of my main page. How can I achieve my desired functionality?

Hallo Aircool …

Dies hängt davon ab, wie Ihre Datenbank strukturiert ist. Haben Sie bereits eine Datenbank mit allen Einträgen?

Edit:

Here you can see a little example how your project could look like…

Everything till this stage was done without any code.

In the project you will also find a table which shows the data, stored in the database.
