Hi All I am developing a community directory which may be searched using either keywords or a list of categories. The "advanced category search" is giving me a few problems; whilst the basic search by category uses a simple <select></select> with words and phrases, the advanced version provides a summary of what may be found in the category. To put this in a <select></select> would make some rows impossibly wide. My solution was to produce a form for each category; the result looks like this: http://www.community-connect.net/cc/search?a=cs Although it navigates OK in Lynx, I am not happy with it. I invite comments on this and ask: 1) Is it OK to have the submit control of a form somewhere before the end? Because of the advanced options which may not be used, I have placed it after the section title? 2) Is there too much information on the page using this type of presentation? Feedback would be appreciated. Cheers M -- Matthew Smith IT Consultant - KBC, South Australia KBC Web Site http://www.kbc.net.au PGP Public Key http://gpg.mss.cx
