You can have a look at it at www.drivoccaz.com, click on the old car to access the search engine.Hi Laurent,Since you're searching in the same field for two different sets of parameters, one thing you need to do is to use a group search technique. So put this in your form:Then change the references in your selection lists from gtprixdata to gtgroup1data, and from ltprixdata to ltgroup2data. Actually, it wouldn't hurt to make these two fields required -- so you should probably append rq after the data part ... as in gtgroup1datarq and ltgroup2datarq.And don't forget, you will also need a couple of additional hidden form fields that tell webcat that these fields are numbers instead of text:I think these changes will fix it for you ... :)Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
