[Geomoose-users] [Geomoose-developers] Searching Issue

Fri Jan 2 13:05:03 EST 2009

Take a look at the way you are naming your HTML files. It is possible
that you are using invalid characters that get through in FF but not IE.
Not likely, but possible. 

Also, yes I have used the multiple search boxes with IE with success.
Unfortunately, GeoMoose hasn't reached a level of consistent usability
for the projects we desire so we have had to move away from it for now,
but I am anxiously waiting to see what the future has in store for it.

EVEN more weird....

I tested this in Firefox and it worked perfect.  I then created another
user and went in and deleted all the Cookies, Temp Files etc on my
computer.....( I had to do this last time when I had an image not
refreshing.)  and went back into IE and it Still dosent work...went back
into Firefox and it worked great...

Could this be IE hanging up on something?  Has anyone used the Multi
Search successfully in IE with multiple searches...

It appears that the specific search is trying to use the incorrect html
file....although in Firefox it works fine....

ANY thoughts...

THanks

The weird thing is.....if I eliminate the code for the Address Search it
works fine.  I add the code for Address Search and when I do A PID
Search it points to the ItemQuery_parcel_points.html ( the Address
Search) instead of the itemquery_parcels.html (the PID Search).

The code is not changing rather just adding code for another search...
The code is in two different folders and itemquery map files clearly
show the pointing to two different folders...

Any thoughts?

I had this working at one point and then tried to add another search
(owner).  Something got messed up so I am trying to start from the
beginning.

I have two searches (PID, Building Number) the PID is NOT working while
the Building Number is.  My problem is that the code seems to be the
same to me...I cannot see the problem...

Maybe thinking that another pair of eyes can see the issue..

When I do a search for the Address is comes right up....when I do a
search for the PID it takes for EVER to run and then returns a ton of
results....it doesn't seem like it is looking at the PID number on the
search.

Any thoughts

Thanks
