Tristan Koen	Wednesday 20 August 2003 2:17:13 am I have a number of classes; articles, whitepapers, presentations, etc. As part of the navigation on my website, I would like to then have a mini menu that looks as follows: Show all: - Articles - Whitepapers - Presentations - etc I figure the best way to do this would be to use the advanced search, searching on classes. The problem is that I cannot get the advanced search to work with HTTP GET parameters. Can anyone her eexplain how to do this, or suggest an alternative way to accomplish the same thing?
Paul Forsyth	Wednesday 20 August 2003 7:53:47 am Advanced search can do what you want. A good example is to look at the ez site, at: http://ez.no/content/advancedsearch Look at the source and it will show you what hidden variables you need to set. Basically you need to tell the advancedsearch how you want to search by means of hidden variables. Paul
Tristan Koen	Wednesday 20 August 2003 11:57:49 am Hi Paul Thanks, but it isn't exactly what I am looking for. The http://ez.no advanced search gets its parameters through an HTTP POST, not a GET. I don't want to use a form since it is not consistent with the look & feel of my site. I would far prefer to have a set of <a href=...></a> links in a floating <div>. I posted another message about passing parameters using an HTTP GET, but no response yet. I am going to assume for the moment that it cannot be done :( Regards, Tristan
Tristan Koen	Friday 22 August 2003 12:07:21 am Sorry Paul, You were right. The form uses a method="get". I didn't bother looking. I just assumed a method="post". I think that from now on I need to stop jumping to conclusions :(
