Search Results in a Dynamic Include Drops Parameter

Hi guys, I have a search form that when submitted drops the page parameter for displaying the results. It works perfect if I redirect directly to the results page. But the results page needs to be included in the main layout.

Code:

<div id="empsearch" title="Employer Quick Search">

<form action="index.php?page=empquicksearch" method="get" id="clientSearchForm" name="clientSearchForm">
Employer Name:

<input type="text" name="empSearchName" id="empSearchName" />
<input type="submit" name="empSearchButton" id="empSearchButton" value="Submit" class="submit" />
</form>
</div>

See attached for resulting redirect result - notice no page parameter.

I stand to be correct but I don't think you can pass URL strings in an include.

You would need to write the form values into sessions and then use the DA Search criteria to filter by the session values.

Cheers

maybe try just adding a hidden form element to pass the page parameter:

<form action="index.php" method="get" id="clientSearchForm" name="clientSearchForm">
Employer Name:
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="empquicksearch" />
<input type="text" name="empSearchName" id="empSearchName" />
<input type="submit" name="empSearchButton" id="empSearchButton" value="Submit" class="submit" />
</form>
