[RESOLVED] Suppress form field submission

[ClarkF1]

I have a form that currently consists of 1 text field (name) and two pull down boxes (date and category)
The form is being used to search a database using only one of the form items.

When I submit the form using the GET method the &name= gets appended to the URL whether it has been completed or not. Is there anyway I can suppress it being sent if it's blank???

Probably need to use javascript and if that field is blank then disable that field altogether with a javascript function a disabled field produces no output.

[ClarkF1]

I thought it'd be that.........

I've decided to recode the form so all three fields are required.

[Houdini]

Hey did not mean to make extra work, but that is all I could think of, it is possible perhaps with something I don't know of or about.

[ClarkF1]

It works better with the new way I did it as you can refine the search rather than use only one of the options.

Just had to change some or's to and's and add some fields to a query

you can also use the post method and just set them as session variables that are destroyed upon sending them to the source
