Convert Drop Down to Hidden Field

On the standard search fields in PHPRunner, I would like to convert two of them to hidden fields. I have tried several things with no success. Here is what I have tried that does not work:
<input type="Hidden" id=ctlSearchField value="F1" {$search_F1}>
This is what works:
<SELECT id=ctlSearchField><OPTION value=F1 {$search_F1}>PROGRAM</OPTION></SELECT>&nbsp;
<SELECT id=ctlSearchOption><OPTION value=Equals

{$search_equals_option_selected}>Equals</OPTION>

</SELECT> &nbsp;
Thanks!

Hi,
you can do the following:

  1. remove whole <SELECT id=ctlSearchField ... \SELECT> code.
  2. then find <FORM name=frmSearch at the top of this page, locate following line:
    <input type="Hidden" name="SearchField" value="">



and replace it with this one:

<input type="Hidden" name="SearchField" value="F1">

ok, here is the sulution:

  1. remove whole <SELECT id=ctlSearchField ... \SELECT> code.

  2. and replace it with this one:

    <input type="Hidden" id="ctlSearchOption" value="Contains" {$search_contains_option_selected}>


then open include\ jsfunctions.js

and replace

frmSearch.SearchOption.value = document.getElementById('ctlSearchOption').options[document.getElementById('ctlSearchOption').selectedIndex].value;
with

frmSearch.SearchOption.value = document.getElementById('ctlSearchOption').value;


thats it.
