Re: [mv] Search Results Problem



******    message to minivend-users from Ramsey French <rammjet@mindspring.com>     ******

OK.  Now I am officially confused.  Can someone please help me understand
why this doesn't work?

In an attempt to get around my nested frames problem, I decided to try an
in-page search without frames for now.  I lifted this example straight out
of minivend.html, put it in a page called x8.html and called it through my
mvend.  This was my response (similar to my problems with frames):

  Sorry, no matches for .


This is the code in x8.html:

<HEAD>
<TITLE>[L]Search Results[/L]</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY MV="body 1">

    [search-region   se=Americana
                     sf=category
                     sp=x8  <=== tried with and without this
                     ml=2
                     ]
    [more-list][more][/more-list]
    [search-list]
    <A MV="page [item-code]" HREF="flypage.html">
        [item-field title]<A>, by [item-field artist]
    [/search-list]
    [no-match]
        Sorry, no matches for [value mv_searchspec].
    [/no-match]
    [/search-region]

<!-- current page: @@MV_PAGE@@ -->
</body> </html>

I appreciate all assistance.
