Problems with Google search

[spyderco]

I added a few Google search things on

http://www.learntogoogle.com/google-search.html

and only the first one is working. The others aren't displaying any results.

I thought at first it was encoding everything funny like " and :. But now I'm not sure.

Anyone familiar with these forms care to see why they aren't working?

Thank you so much!

You should probably take this to the browser issues forum (forum608), as even if it is an HTML issue, it's not one that we can give you code to fix as it is on Google's servers!

Hope this helps,

The first form has <input>s named "q", "sa", "client", etc. which Google interprets and acts upon as expected.

The second form has <input>s named "q2", "sa2", "client2", etc. which Google doesn't recognise - so you don't get the results you want. Subsequent forms add different sequence numbers with the same consequences.

You need to give fields names that Google will understand - so the names should be the same in each version of the form. If you need to identify the <input>s uniquely within the document, use an [tt]id[/tt] instead.
