Forum OpenACS Q&A: some help with ad_table

im just having a little problem with ad_table, im trying to use a variable that is inputted into the perl script inside the table definition , but because the variable is not from the ad_table query it is not recognising it

heres an example of what im trying to do

ad_page_contract {

} {
sid:integer
} -properties {
table
}

set table def {
{add "" {} {<td><a href="addsubject?[export_vars {sid}]"></a></td>}}
}

set table [ad_table myquery {*SQL*} $table]

by putting sid inside the tabledef obviously it doesnt recognise it as it is not in the myquery variable

so how can i get it to be useable inside the definition ?

any help is appreciated

thankyou
