Forms in Joomla articles

Hello,

I installed TBS and set up a query inside a Joomla article.  I used the Joomla documentation page on the TBS web site.  It works great.

I now want to set up a form and am having trouble since forms are not covered in the Joomla page.  Basically, I just want to have an article with an input text field and a button.  When the button is pressed the contents of the input field are used in the WHERE clause of an SQL SELECT the results of which I want to display in the page.  For example, I have a table with a list of club members (name, address, etc.) that I want to be able to search where a user could enter a name in the text field, press the Search button, and see of list of all matching rows.

Could someone direct me to a Joomla-specific code sample that does something similar to that?

Hi Mark,

Happy new year :)

By default, TinyMCE (the Wysiwyg HTM editor for Joomla) cleans up all forms tags. You can change this behavior in the Administrator side of your Joomla site.

Go to menu "Extensions/Plugin Manager"
choose "Editor - TinyMCE 2.0"
Change parameter "Code cleanup on save" to "Never" or "Front only".
