Forms & Subdomains

[Krus1972]

I have a unique issue I cannot resolve.

My website uses many subdomains for different areas from the main website much like yahoo & blogger.com does.

My issue is:

I have a form that allows visitors to conduct searches within my site. The form uses the "GET" method. When the visitors' browser is in any one of the subdomains I would like the form to to perform the the action on and return the visitor to the root domain of my site.

For example a visitor may be at

http://abc.mydomain.com.

When he/she conducts a search the URL in browser bar will be:

http://abc.mydomain.com/search.asp?query=the keywords

If the visiotr is in a subdomain and conducts the same search I would like the visiotr to return back to the root domain and the address abr should read:

http://mydomain.com/search.asp?query=the keywords

I've tried using the following syntex in the "ACTION" field of the form:

action="mydomain.com/search.asp"
action="

http://mydomain.com/search.asp"

action="/search.asp"

No matter what I do I cannot get the visiotrs' address bar to return to the root (mydomain.com) when the form is posted.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch,

Jeff

Without seeing the actual HTML code, it's hard to say. But something you can try would be to create a redirect for your search page in the HTTP.conf file.
