Hi Colin, Thanks for the info. Did as you suggested and tested the HTML. There were six errors, all of which were due to the way Foundation uses li tags in the nav bar dropdown menu. As this section is unrelated to the search feature, I removed these tags and revalidated. There was also a warning about the icon I'm using in the search submit button, so I replaced that with the text 'GO'. With those changes, the document validated. (I was also careful to validate the HTML which includes the flash message.) Unfortunately, these changes did not alter the flash behavior.
Also, I check the dev console in Chrome, and the only problem I could with JavaScript was a warning about a deprecated method in jQuery: event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead. Thanks anyway!
