    I’m trying to set up the search form for my template but for some reason, it will disable the ajax poll that I have set up. Is there anything that I need to know to get it to work properly?

    Wired,

    Is this the simple search form or the advanced search form?

    And what version and build of EE are you running?

    It’s the simple search form and I’m running ExpressionEngine v 1.6.2.

    Wired, you’re a few versions behind. I’d recommend upgrading to the newest, since there is newer functionality and it is a recommended security upgrade.

    When you say ajax poll, what do you mean? Do you have a link we can look at?

    Underneath the map, you should be able to cast your vote:


    But when I apply the simple search form, the vote button doesn’t cast the vote.


    Thank you for taking a look at it.

    i would first highly recommend upgrading to the current version/build, as there have been many security updates, bug fixes and features added since 1.6.2.

    Also, you should probably check to make sure there isn’t a DOM id conflict, or your AJAX isn’t just searching for any form on the page.

    Thank you Greg,  I totally missed out cause my membership has expired and now I can’t download the latest build. So do you think by updating the build It should resolve the issue?


    I guess I should debug to see what’s going wrong. I appreciate it man. I probably need to refine JS a bit more.

    I can’t promise that updating will fix it, but I would highly recommend starting there.  😊

    I fixed it. You were right about the forms conflicting. I had to assign the function to the right form. Thank you so much!
