[TYPO3-dev] search form looses id

[Richard Davies]

Hi,

The link in <form action="' . $searchResultPageLink . '" method="GET"> is
being generated correctly? Is the correct URL sent? If you use firefox, use
something like Tamper Data to view what is being sent to the server.

The issue may be that you accidentally nested your form inside another
form. This is obviously not allowed - however FF sends the outer form
action, hence why you wouldn't see the id value being carried across.
