Re: Can't get the search to do what I want
My search box is on every page of the website so when you type something into it, and press search, it bring up the search results page, when you click on one of the displayed search results it bring up the page now when you click on a link on this page it just reloads the page over and over.
this is in the search form: <h3><txp:permlink><txp:section title=“1” limit=“999”/></txp:permlink></h3>
<txp:excerpt />
<p><search_result_url /></p>

Re: Can't get the search to do what I want
The limit="999" can’t be used in <txp:section />. It belongs in a <txp:article />tag.
My search box is on every page of the website so when you type something into it, and press search, it bring up the search results page, when you click on one of the displayed search results it bring up the page
So far so good, if I understand correctly?
now when you click on a link on this page it just reloads the page over and over.
This looks to me it has nothing to do with your search results setup. Can you post:
- the code on that page (the one that is being reloaded)
- the content of the article forms that are used in the article tag(s) on that page

Re: Can't get the search to do what I want
First, I don’t see there <txp:article /> tag. Without it you can’t show your search results. Also you should fix your your HTML output. The doctype is HTML 4.01, but I see there XHTML tags, that won’t work. In example there is <input type="submit" value="Search" class="button" /> ;)

Re: Can't get the search to do what I want
Gocom, the way I understood gmorgan is that this is not the search results page, but the page that is displayed after clicking a link in one of the search results. Am I right, gmorgan?

The only links I see on this page are the ones in your footer:
<a href="quality"><img src="/images/qs_logo.gif" alt="qs logo" width="30" height="41" class="qslogo"></a>
<a href="investors"><img src="/images/iip.gif" alt="iip logo" width="53" height="36" class="iiplogo"></a>
<a href="positive"><img src="/images/pos_l.gif" alt="pos l logo" width="47" height="36" class="posllogo"></a>
<a href="positive"><img src="/images/pos_r.gif" alt="pos r logo" width="45" height="36" class="posrlogo"></a>
<a href="esf"><img src="/images/esf.gif" alt="esf logo" width="128" height="28" class="esflogo"></a></div>Because in your article form there is only <txp:body />, and no permlink.
Are these the not-working links you were referring to? If so, are they supposed to link to articles? Are ‘quality’, ‘investors’ etcetera article titles? If so, you’d better link to them like this:
<a href="<txp:permlink id="123" />"><img src=etcetera... /></a>If I misunderstood you just let me know :)
