[TYPO3-dev] search form looses id

[Robert Wildling]

Thank you, Richard, for your response. I still have to try the Tamper 
Data thing on FF, at the moment I am on Chrome. However, the form is not 
nested, the URL generated correctly.

But what I observed today was this: when the form action is set to "GET" 
the id gets lost, while other parameters are sent; as soon as i set the 
form action to POST, it is the other way around: the id stays within the 
form, while category and province get lost (the search result jumps back 
to a list with all records...)

???

Any inputs would be very welcome! Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Robert
