Hi Rick,

I'm using the following bootstrap code to allow users to do a search query :

<div class="container">
	<div class="row">
		<div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-3">
			<form action="" class="search-form">
				<div class="form-group has-feedback">
					<label for="search" class="sr-only">Search</label>
					<input type="text" class="form-control" name="SDAsearch" id="search" placeholder="Enter name\post code.....">
					<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search form-control-feedback"></span>
				</div>
			</form>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

I'm using a function I built to generate this dynamically, but the issue I'm having is the 'QueryString' is losing its variables, for example, the original 'QueryString' might look like this :

http://localhost/CSWebApp/SelectDeliveryAddress.cw?Job=N8660&ReturnPath=DespatchJob.cw?Job=N8660

But if I then do a search on this screen, the 'QueryString' changes to :

http://localhost/CSWebApp/SelectDeliveryAddress.cw?SDAsearch=GU51

Whereas I want to to look like this :

http://localhost/CSWebApp/SelectDeliveryAddress.cw?Job=N8660&ReturnPath=DespatchJob.cw?Job=N8660&SDAsearch=GU51

So my question is, how do I preserve the original 'QueryString' when I do a search?

Many thanks, Chris

Where is the code that calls back to the server?

The concept would be to add the one request to another request. That would be done in your javaScript code. You will need to also have a way to clear prior requests.

I guess you could store the prior requests on the server within the users session but I think that might be a lot more messy.

Show more of your code.

Hi Harvey,

Thanks for coming back to me.

My full code is as follows :

Response.WriteLn(GetHTMLSearchBar("Enter name\post code.....","SDA")) && HARVEY - This is where my search bar is injected, but when that is submitted it loses the parsed URL and just uses the plain URL but with the search QueryString.

ENDFUNC

Maybe I should ask a different question, how would you recommend having a search option that keeps the URL intact?

Thank you for helping me 😃

Chris

The. Alien of the url in your query string needs to be urlencoded - the ? In the query string is invalid and probably breaks the url...
