Moving The Simple Search Problem

[Christov]

Ello. I've tried moving the simple search from the bottom left of my site to the top right by cutting/copying pasting it within Dreamweaver in the templates. But once its there and is run it seems to refresh the page rather than display and results/errors. I have been coping the ' NETQUOTEVAR:SIMPLESEARCH ' have I missed something blindingly simple?

Hi Christopher,

set DW to work in split screen mode and make sure you pick up the <form> tags surrounding the search box

I've now even copied the whole code from the act_simplesearch.html file into the act_primary.html file and still the search doesn't work!!! It looks like my precessor had the simple search bar out of the way for a reason!

This probably won't work as the variables within 'Act_SimpleSearch.html' may not necessarily work correctly in Act_Primary.html.

What is probably causing the problem is that you have placed NETQUOTEVAR:SIMPLESEARCH between NETQUOTEVAR:FORMBEGIN and NETQUOTEVAR:FORMEND - which are the tags that bring in the main <form> and </form> tags for the site. If you place the SIMPLESEARCH between these then you will end up with a form within a form, which will not work. Try this:

NETQUOTEVAR:FORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:SIMPLESEARCH
NETQUOTEVAR:FORMBEGIN

... in order to keep the forms separate.
