http://design.criabarn.com/rm/exec/search.cgi can someone look at that url and source, I'm trying to get a search to work looking for herdsires, not junior herdsires, all the others would be any. I know that there are several but I can't get any to come up. or check this code: <tr>
<td><font face="arial" size=2><strong> Herdsire </strong></font></td>
<td>
<select name="lfield41_match">
<option value="">Any
<option>Yes (comment: I've also tried this with the no option in this too-comment in this post only not on webpage)
</select>
</td>
</tr>
The listing field is set up and check boxes with yes or no. I've checked the field, I've checked the listings and I cannot see where the problem lies.

Hi Irishis,
How's it going!? Nice to hear from you. 
Try this: change value="lfield41_match" to value="lfield41_keyword" in the select tag. I tried changing that in your query string and it seemed to fix it up.
The question is, why...!? It's possible that your Yes dropdown has an extra space in it - that would be my guess. That way, it wouldn't correctly match "Yes" to "Yes ".
But regardless - just change it to _keyword, and that should fix it up. :-)

Nope no spaces, I'll go in and change the keyword thing and I'm sure that will do the trick.

ok I fixed it, changing it to keywords didn't work, I'm not quite sure what did. But it's working now, I'll just slowly add in some other things back in that I took out....boy...that sounds familiar. By the way, was I working with you on the problem with the html? I have a question for whoever that was, namely why this page :http://design.criabarn.com/rm/listings/l0007.html see micron count, why does this field work? it definitely has characters that would cause problems with the script I use to hide fields but yet it shows up with no problem?????

Hi -
Yes, it was me you were working with on that javascript / html problem. :-)
The page you mentioned does have a javascript error when you open the page, but you'll only see it if your browser is set to "display a norification about every script error" - a setting in IE. But the reason it's working for that field is - I think - because the micron count placeholder has been html-encoded (i.e. $lfieldX_he$). That would encode the " and > characters (amongst others) which could cause problems with the javascript.

Well they all have that _he encoding thing it just doesn't work for some of them, I guess. This new update couldn't come to soon, I want to be able to see all that I should be able too. I do see the error, but the thing was I could see the field with the punctuation that causes problems in the other fields-and don't show up- that have exactly the same coding/script. Wish it wouldn't pick and choose.
