Static links to product categories

3/02/2010 8:31 am | #1 jaa397769

I'm trying to create some static links to product categories in my powerstore3 for example I create the href as <a href="Products_Results.php?Search=19&ProductCategoryID[]=19">

The browser keeps returning "Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=24"

no matter what link I click on, and there are 12 of them from #1-24 I get back this result in my browser. In powerstore 2 this worked fine, even though the statement was a little different for example

<a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=19">

Can you tell me why the page is returning this result? Do you have a php statement that is causing this to happen.

One last thing, if I type in the browser after my domain name, Products_Results.php?Search=19&ProductCategoryID[]=19 I get the proper results. So I am totally befuddled.
Thank you

If I view source of your page, I can see that those image icons are being added to the opage twice:

<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0" align="center" width="800">   	  <tbody><tr>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=24"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/hunting.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=23"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/archery.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=22"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/fishing.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=21"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/camping.jpg"></a></div></td>       </tr>   	  <tr>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=20"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/home.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=19"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/auto.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=18"><img height="60" width="125" alt="" src="Images/finished/happarel.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=17"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/mens.jpg"></a></div></td>       </tr>   	  <tr>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=16"><img height="60" width="120" alt="" src="Images/finished/womens.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=15"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/youthapparel.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=14"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/shoes.jpg"></a></div></td>   	    <td><div align="center"><a href="Products_Results.php?Search=true&CategoryID=25"><img height="60" width="110" alt="" src="Images/finished/clearance.jpg"></a></div></td>       </tr>     </tbody></table>    <p>&nbsp;</p>

the first time with the wrong links, the second time with the correct links. the area those icons are displayed in is not big enough to show both instances of the links, so it is only showing the first one.

you should remove the first instance of the links.
