Hey Jeff, I looked, it seemed do-able but I also needed to set one of the search fields to a session variable to display above the list page and not have it be part of the where clause. That did not seem so easy.
While it might not work for you, my solution was really simple. Surprisingly simple actually. I used an add form with three selects, all required. Made the action page of the add form, my list page, made the button text on the add form "submit search" and the label of the add form "Choose an Associate, a Job and Labor Item Status". My values come to my action page (list page) as form fields and I set one to a session for display above the list and the other two as session variables to use as the where clause extension for the list page. If it is possible you will have a list that is multi-page, it is necessary to set the values to session for the whereClauseExtension so it is still there when you navigate between pages of the list. On the list page I changed the "display a link to this search page" to refer to my custom search page. Works like a charm and allows for alot of stuff the built in search page does not. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeff Fleitz Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 5:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [plum] adding required attribute for a searchform? Hey Mark, I have been using embedded search forms in lists for so long I haven't looked at it, but you're right, it's odd that the required attribute is missing. Go for it. I think I will plug those holes as well, cause we have to be able to use that for a search form to a report. Jeff Mark Fuqua wrote: > I guess I should just try it.
