Edit the following lines in htsearch/Display.cc and
libhtdig/ResultFetch.cc:
*str << "<select name=\"format\">\n";
*str << "<select name=\"method\">\n";
*str << "<select name=\"sort\">\n";
To:
*str << "<select id=\"format\" name=\"format\">\n";
*str << "<select id=\"method\" name=\"method\">\n";
*str << "<select id=\"sort\" name=\"sort\">\n";
Recompile and install.
Also edit the following lines in common/syntax.html:
Match: $(METHOD)
Format: $(FORMAT)
Sort: $(SORT)
To:
<label for="method">Match:</label> $(METHOD)
<label for="Format">Format:</label> $(FORMAT)
<label for="Sort">Sort:</label> $(SORT)
