texte = Hi Grant,I wanted to use a single results template for all my searches in a particular database, but sometimes I want to begin the search on a search form page, and other times I want to perform the entire search in a [search] context which appears on the results template.I thought I could do this according to the following results template example, but it doesn't work:[showif [link]=browse][search db=xxx?parametersHere][/showif]text of results page ... [founditems] [/founditems] more text of results page[showif [link]=browse][/search][/showif]This doesn't work, and the results template shows an Error: expected [/search] but found [/showif].This apparently indicates that I cannot place a [/showif] tag inside the [search] context because [search] has precedence over the [showif] contexts when being interpreted in the template. I actually thought the [showif] contexts would be intrepreted first, but I guess I was wrong.Why wouldn't the [showif] contexts be interpreted first? Can you think of any way for me to do what I want to do here?Sincerely, Ken ------------------------------------ To leave this talk list send an email to macjordomo@smithmicro.com with BODY unsubscribe WebDNA-Talk ------------------------------------ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
