pablo1988 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I am trying to add two search boxes to the below code. I need First Name, Last Name and Skill. I have added the boxes and connected fname (first_name) but am not sure how to link the other two correctly. Can anybody please help? I think it's something to do with the bold red text.
