Re: Problem with Minivend 3.12 forms.

Jayme,
	The problem you are encountering is because of the javascript
used in the basket and other checkout pages, to fix it you need to 
make a change to any basket or checkout page that will be using 
your header file with the search form in it.

Everywhere you see the following code:
document.forms[0]
you need to change it to:
document.forms[1]

Because those forms use javascript to submit the forms, the code
document.forms[0] means "submit the first form that appears on the
page"

So changing it to document.forms[1] means submit to the second
form that appears on the page (the one you really want to submit).

So for each form that you put on a page that appears before the 
javascript forms you need to increase the number.
