Problem with javascript version of search and frameset

[kat]

I have created a search feature for a cd rom using the pro version of the software. I haven't added any unusual features other than embeddingthe search page on the left and a target frame on the right for the display of pages when the user clicks a search result link.

When the search page is embedded in a frame, it doesn't even allow the user to type into the form box.

When the search page is accessed outside the frame (as a test) it works just fine.

What am I doing wrong? Is there some bit of code I need to add? BTW, the page (frame and all) works perfectly on a Mac using Safari. I'm trying to get it to work on a PC using IE6.

hELP!

It is hard to guess at what is going on without seeing it.

Are there error messages? What version of Zoom are you using?

Can you E-mail us a screen shot. Or even better can you zip up all your search files and E-mail them to us.

Similar problem?

Hello,

my problem might be similar ...


Using frames I also want to have one frame for search entry and another for the results.
My problem is that I would like to have a specific .htm file in the result frame. I figured out that Zoom takes the search file itself to use it again in the targeted frame. I donīt want that. I would like to address a given html file to show the results in (results.htm). Any idea how to get this done?

Ronald,

The way to achieve that is to turn the search page into a "results only" page. You do this by disabling the search form in the Configuration window (under the "Search Page" tab).

You then need to create a new search form in HTML, to be used in the other frame where you enter the search query.
