Hi folks, ok here's my first question on here...
I'm building a web site for a small property lettings company.
There's a search facility, so people can search for a property to let.
I'd like to include an "any" option in the search list e.g.
Apartment
House
Bungalow
Any
So people can choose "any" if they are not to bothered about that particular option.
When I try to do an "any" search, the page returns no matches. I guess this is because my query is looking for "any" in the fields.
How can I get around this? I've built the site using Dreamweaver, here's my results page..
Really appreciate any help as I am totally stuck!
Rich...:)
