Optional search criteria
Posted: Wed May 11, 2005 5:54 am
Hey all
I am setting up a search form that allows a user to search a library based upon a number of search criteria, e.g. author, title, cost, date etc
I can easily search one field or all the fields at once, but what i want to allow the user to do is have the option of searching from a pick of the fields, meaning each criteria on the search form is optional.
Basically it will mean that what fields the user selects will be searched for, so a user could look for a book based on its price and author.
i hope this is understandable
any ideas??
thanks alex
