Thanks!
That helped me get pass that error. However, maybe my logic is wrong, when I
clicked the "Submit" button, it took me to the detail page of the last search
result. I figured I'd need to move that input tag for the hidden value
somewhere instead. Tried a few places but still didn't work.
any comments?
thanks!
