Exercise 1: Creating a Trip Detail page

By design, the Trip Search Results page displays a subset of the information about a trip. To get additional information about any of the trips, the user should be able to click any row to display the detailed trip data.

In this exercise, you build a Trip Detail page to provide all the information about a particular trip that is stored in the Compass Travel trips database. The following figure shows an example of the Trip Detail page that you build:

After you complete the Trip Maintenance application in this tutorial, you will use this Trip Detail page in several ways:

• You can call the Trip Detail page directly by typing in the address of the page with an ID. For example, to view trip information for Rio Cahabon Rafting with tripID 24, you open a browser and enter the following URL:

  http://localhost/cfdocs/getting_started/my_app/tripdetail.cfm?ID=24
  

• You can navigate to the Trip Detail page by creating a hyperlink from the trip name on the Trip Search Results page. This will offer the user drill-down capability when searching for trips. You will link the Trip Search Results page and the Trip Detail page in one of the exercises in this lesson.
• You can use browse buttons on the Trip Detail page to navigate the Trips table row-by-row. You will implement this navigational feature in Lesson 6: Creating a Main Application Page.
