You cannot do it that way until you make some changes.There's no search context on the results page, and that means webcat must have received the command=search from the previous URL or form -- not from an embedded [search] context.And since you can send only one command per URL, you cannot do a command=search and a command=add from the same URL ...There are ways around this. In general, it's best to use [search] contexts whenever possible -- so you can use your commands for something else.For example, if you change your results page so that it has a search context wrapped around the founditems context, then you can perform the command=add from the URL above -- while having the search performed from the embedded [search] context in the results page.Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
