Re: Advanced Keyword Searching

["Brian D. Moore" <bmoore@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jamen,

Have you worked on these pages recently offline and them uploaded them to 
the system? Sounds as if your limit tokens might not be encoded correctly. 
If you've saved an html page to your PC to work on it after viewing it in 
your browser it's easy to forget that the tokens generate blocks of html. 
This means that the underlying structure of the page is different than what 
is sent to your browser. This might be what's breaking them. View the page 
in the III editor to check that the tokens are correct. Remember, each 
token must appear on it's own line with no spacing beforehand. If they 
appear to be encoded correctly, double-check the name of each token since 
they vary depending on the limits you have on your system. III must have 
given them to you when you first sent these pages up.

Hope this is helpful,

Brian Moore
