DataAssist Search form problems

I have a basic DataAssist results page with a search box on the results page but it's not working as it should - when you search, it initially says no results found but if you hit the Back button you get the appropriate search result. I also built in a Reset Search button (I've done this on a few pages already with no issues) but it's not working at all, just does nothing. The page is based on other very similar pages I have that do work correctly and I've made sure the PHP code blocks are in exactly the same order as on pages that work fine, so can't think what else to try.

Please attach a copy of the results page and I can take a look. It sounds like the search server behavior is above the recordset based on the description, but I'll have to look at the page to be sure.

Hi Ray, thanks for taking a look at this - page is attached. I tried moving the search server behavior below the recordset but it didn't make any difference. Strange thing is I have a few other pages on the same site built in exactly the same way and they all work fine!

It looks good to me... Can you post a url and steps to reproduce the issue as well as FTP information so that I can debug it on the server? I don't see the problem in the code so active debugging will probably be necessary.

Update the form action from:
action="linked_clients.php"

to:
action="linked_clients.php?AccountantID=<?php echo(intval($_GET['AccountantID'])); ?>"

Your page depends on the AccountantID in the url to show the correct result and it isn't getting passed in the form action.

Another thing, is that I couldn't even type into the form field for the search in Firefox. I had to add: style="clear:both" to the div:
<div class="col-lg-12">

You will want to fix that before going live.

Hi Ray, thanks for that. It still didn't work for me, however I included a hidden field in the form to pass the URL variable and that did the trick, so your answer put me on the right track!
