I don't use the CT myself, but when a Category or Subcategory isn't selected, I suppose the form var will be an empty string. So instead of using ParameterExists (You should use isdefined if you're on cf4+) test for that empty string.
<!-- Check for these variables --> <cfif (Len(Form.Sub_Category)) AND (Form.Keyword is "")> <!--- Only a Category is specified ---> <cfset THECriteria = "(CF_Custom2 <MATCHES> #Form.Sub_Category#) "> <cfelseif (NOT Len(Form.Sub_Category)) AND (Form.Keyword is not "")> <!--- Only Keywords are specified ---> <cfset THECriteria = "#Form.Keyword#"> <cfelse> <!--- Category And Keywords are specified ---> <cfset THECriteria = "(CF_Custom2 <MATCHES> #Form.Sub_Category#) AND (#Form.Keyword#)"> </cfif> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: donderdag 4 april 2002 23:48 To: CF-Talk Subject: Combining TWOSELECTSRELATED with a Keyword Search A have a problem. I'm attempting to combine the custom tag TWOSELECTSRELATED with a Keyword Search. Here's how it should operate. The idea is to search by category and subcategory only OR by text only OR using both the selects and text field. When I search using just the two selects related category/subcategory it works fine but when I only want to use the text field to search the application searches with the two selects as well. Definetly not what I want. I think the problem is that the two selects related is always submitted but I don't know how to prevent it from being submitted. Any help suggestions appreciated. Here's a code snippet from the form page: <!-- CF_TWOSELECTS BEGINS --> <br><CF_TwoSelectsRelated Query="Test1" Name1="Category" Name2="Sub_Category" Display1="Category_Name" Display2="Sub_Category" FORCEWIDTH1="30" FORCEWIDTH2="30" Formname="Search" Default1="" Default2=""> ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
