The trouble is the overlay is triggered with the usual "href='#' rel=#overlay" which means I can't use the standard form. So, I have tried some javascript to take the input box value and build a href link. However, it isn't passing the form value as a variable at the other end, meaning the SQL query than runs is running for all values instead of the value in the input box.
