Glenn (I copied dspace-tech), You'd probably have to change the Javascript in the "utils.js", since you have another form preceding the one it is looking for.
I vaguely remember that someone out there had a quick "fix" or patch for this problem. It looks like it never made it into the DSpace code though, since this problem exists in DSpace 1.4.1. Does anyone else remember this previous discussion, or have a link to it? You could also try searching the archives of dspace-tech (I just tried and wasn't able to find the discussion I'm thinking of. But, maybe you'd have better luck?) Otherwise the basic options would be: (1) remove the search form from your header (so that the form on the Group select page would then be the first <form> on that admin page) (2) Change 'group_eperson_select.jsp' to give the form a name (E.g. name="group_select_form"), and change the utils.js to actually call the <form> by name (rather than by number). (Alternatively, you could "hack" it for yourself by changing "forms[0]" in utils.js to "forms[1]" for all necessary methods..though this is not as "pretty" a fix) Of your options: #1 - the easiest (but sounds like it's not what you want) #2 - This (or something like it) is what it would take to actually "fix" the issue for everyone. If you do #3, you could submit a patch explaining how to fix it to SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=19984&atid=319984 However, all that being said...I *know* someone else out there has "tackled" this before (unless I've started dreaming in DSpace :). So, I'm hoping they'll speak up, since I don't recall if there's another "quick" fix someone already came up with :) - Tim Glenn Bunton wrote: > The "form" issue may, in fact, be the one as we have put the search form in > our header.
