Problem with searching
Whenver I try to use the "advanced" search option, I get an error saying that I entered my information incorrectly. Can anyone help me out? For an example see below:
http://www.uhnd.com/links/cgi-bin/search.cgi

You have formatted your Advanced Search Form incorrectly.

1) You need to add a method into your form codes. Change the following codes:

Code:

<FORM action="http://www.uhnd.com/links/cgi-bin/search.cgi">


With the following codes:

Code:
<FORM action="http://www.uhnd.com/links/cgi-bin/search.cgi" method="get">
2) You also need to change your query field codes from:

Code:

<INPUT name="query2" size="20">


to the following codes:

Code:

<INPUT name="query" size="20">


3) Then change your submit field codes from:

Code:

<INPUT type="submit" value="Search" name="submit2">


to the following codes:

Code:

<INPUT type="submit" value="Search">


Let me guess...you are using a WYSIWYG Editor - Front Page 98 or 2000? Or possibly DreamWeaver??

That would solve the problem;) I use FP98 and I have a love-hate relationship going on with it. But that's a whole different story. Thanks for the help!

upgrade to FrontPage 2000. it doesn't eat the code so badly as 98. it still does, but not nearly so much.
