| No matter what I enter into the search box, I get "page not found". I'm guessing there is an issue with the search feature as opposed to my desktop???Terry-- Procrastinate now! |

| Which search box? 1) The big SEARCH with "Google Custom Search" and a [Go] button2) The Search link http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/search.asp - which just searches the forumsPerhaps you have some scripts disabled by your browser - cross scripting perhaps? (I'm guessing though ...) |

I also get that error with the google search box, but if you click go again, it works.I knew a dev once who implemented a sort algorithm that didn't work. Instead of fixing it, he just called sort() twice and claimed that it worked then. Maybe he works for google now? :)

| Thanks all for the responses. It does work the second time (usually). I have a feeling Kristen may be right on the money. And quite possibly, based on Vijay's topic, I also have a feeling it may be an older version of IE. Been waiting for 3 months now for my new desktop from the help desk so I didn't want to load any updates. Maybe it's time to do it my way, which would be against company policy, but how long should I reasonably have to wait? My current desktop is a real dog!Terry-- Procrastinate now! |

The "Google Customer Search" replies on this in the source code:<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=searchbox_011171816663894899992%3Aaow51lf_dim"></script>which is definitely cross-site-scripting.I do wonder how XSS is going to pan out. I see lots of DEVs advocating coding their generic Javascript libraries (JQuery and the like) to link directly to Google's code site. no doubting the speed of Google's servers, worldwide, and the fact that the script is likely to be cached from a different site the user visited, but I also wonder how many people will never be able to see/use such sites!Its also likely that site's Forms won't SUBMIT, because they will need Javascript Slinky-ness  , and then the user will have no way of sending a ContactUs form to tell them! |

| "Javascript Slinky-ness" - I like it, just what I needed this morning! Wait until I use this phrase on the developers and feign surprise when they don't know what it is - although, to mask their "lack" of knowledge, some will try and babble their way through an explanation. "Slinky-ness, oh we've been using that for at least a couple of years!"...Terry-- Procrastinate now! |

| I believe this is fixed. The Google search box worked from the main site but not from the forums. Who knows how long that had been broken. Anyway. If you have any more problems with the Google Search box please report them here.=================================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today. One crisis at a time. |
