Setting form action in a component

WallinI

I've have a search bar component containing a with dropdowns for search criteria, and another which uses the criteria to produce and display a set of results. These exist on a page and interact successfully.

There is a requirement for the search bar component to be added to another page, where it needs to navigate to the original page if the form is submitted.

I've tried setting the action of the form to $PAGE_LINK[] and it does display this first page but the selected criteria appear not to be posted.

Is there another way of directing a form to post data to another page?

form submission is controlled by Livesite and it normally goes back to the page the form was on. if you want to control the form you need to add attribute type="external" to the form ellement
