When you do a search on my forum for the word 'cast' it returns a blank page when I click on one of the results links
Search for anything else and the search function works as it should, it's just the word cast that causes the problem
If I do a 'view source' on a page from the results I get the following only:
quote:
<!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1030.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1033.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1034.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1036.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1037.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1041.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1043.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1046.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1053.asp" --><!--INCLUDE FILE="LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_2070.asp" -->
Anyone have any ideas where to start looking?
Edit: Link to forum
Click: Search link
Enter: cast
Click 'Search' button
Click on any of the results links
Blank page |

I searched and clicked result... blank page!
I copied result link
http://www.maggotdrowning.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=95678&SearchTerms=cast
and stripped SearchTerms=cast off the link.
Link works fine... result displays. [Edit] but page does not highlight search word[/Edit]
Issue appears to be SearchTerms=cast |

| Truncating the search term to "cas" also works. There must be something in one of your asp/js files which is aborting due to exactly the term "cast". I'd start with "search.asp" and search for the word in it and in each/every included file. |

Yes but likewise the &SearchTerms= is part of every search results link, it is the word cast that appears to be causing the problem

| my guess would be that it is the database that is the issue, maybe cast is a reserved word |

Nope, I checked that but we also have a second forum as such running from the same database and it doesn't have the same issue...

It seems to be just with your topic.asp page.
Any mods installed? |

When I do a Subject Only search on your forum search, results are found and displayed.
I mean displayed in the search results. |

| Maybe you could comment out non-vital .js files in topic.asp and see how it goes. |

The only .js files referenced in topic.asp are:
inc_spellcheck.js - IE Spellcheck Mod
inc_code.js - User Group Mod
And these have been in place for some time, saying that I've no idea how long the error has been there as it's only just been spotted
There's been many mods to the forum code over time and tbh its like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack |

Can you post a link to *.txt copies of your topic.asp file and all the files it includes? "Cast" is a reserved word in certain databases but there's nothing in a default topic.asp that would stop the loading of the entire page.

Webbo...
Did you ever resolve the problem?
I changed the URL by deleting the "c" and refreshing the page:
http://www.maggotdrowning.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=95852&SearchTerms=ast
I then looked at the 'page source code' and I noticed several things.

</head>
<body><font='arial'>
<script
I see two <head> and two <body> tags, for example. Could this in combination with the 'cast' have an impact? I also see <a> tag before <html>.
Just some observations.
