How do you do this with XHTML?

[drdeutsch]

I'm looking at this presentation:

http://stopdesign.com/present/2004/ddw-seattle/tables/?no=1

I'm wondering how to navigate to different webpages with that kind of address: "?no=XX"?

I've looked at the source, and I see:

<li id="next"><a href="./?no=2" title ="go forward" accesskey=".">Next</a></li>

<p id="pageno">1</p>

On the bottom. So each page has an ID of "pageno" with a number and the navigation is set to call "./?no=XX" where XX is the next page number in the <p>. But my noobtastic brain doesn't quite get how the "./?no=XX" calls the pageno ID.

Can someone explain this to me? So far, my Google-fu has failed me.

It's not XHTML. It's a scripting language like PHP or ASP that reads 'no' as a variable and uses that the display specific content according to the variable value.

Thanks for clearing that up.
