Display Types

TYPE=heading

'TYPE=heading' creates a product number list similar to the list display with the addition of a product heading title and record count. This type displays all products associated with a specific Thomas Register Product Heading. 

By default, 20 products display on the page at once, and links to a list of the "Next" and "Previous" 20 display when appropriate. If more than one product has the same product number, all products with that number will display. To change the default product display of 20, use the optional number tag.

'TYPE=heading' requires the inclusion of a valid 7-digit Thomas Register Product Heading Number, specified as HEADING=xxxxxxx. Only one heading number can be used per call.
