any help would be great as i've been hitting my head against the wall looking for the answer

If you switch back to the Classic template do you still have a problem?

switch back to classic and the product page just comes up as a blank so cant really test it mate

You have a Template Monster template installed and they are well known for not working properly. If you search the forum for Template Monster you will see all sorts of horror stories. The problem you are having seems to be caused by a missing </form> tag on the search sidebox.

i agree they are a bleedin nightmare and i know its a dumb question but being new to zen you say its a missing form tag any idea where i can change this and what i should put?

Normally you would need to look in a file called /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search.php where YOUR_TEMPLATE is the name of the template override that is being used. TM have a tendency to not follow the rules though so the file could be elsewhere. Once you find it there should be a line in it that says...

$content .= "</form>";
```...and I would guess that it has been missed out. Compare the file's contents to the template default file in /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_search.php and see if you can see where to put the missing line.

If you get stuck you will probably have to go back to Template Monster and raise the issue with them. In my opinion you would be better of trying to get your money back and going for a template that works with Zen Cart. There are some nice free ones in the Zen Cart downloads area which can be used as a good base to build on.

thank you for your help mate much appreciated i checked the file it did have the form line in there same as default and on the offchance i tried swapping files out with the default one to see if it would remedy the problem but it was still the same much appreciated anyway bud

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php This is the file you actually need to look at... The source of your page shows no closing </form>

if (strtolower(IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS) == 'yes') {
$content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == '' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '') this.value = '';"') . ' ' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SEARCH,HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON);
} else {
$content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == '' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '') this.value = '';"') . ' <input type="submit" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON . '" style="width: 45px" />';
}

$content .= "</form>";
?>

thank you marg checked this one as well shows hte same as default zen file tried changing them over to and shows same problem

includes/templates/theme013/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php

The above is absolutely where you are looking? Because... the issue discussed is absolutley what is causing your error. There is a missing </form> somewhere and we know this because of the advanced_search_results.php reference... Keep digging? Is there a way of turning off the header search just for poop and piddles?

thanks marg was definately that file i was looking at by luck i have just come accross the issue it was actually in the common folder tpl_header.php file for anyone else having the same issue all you do is remove the line referencing the advanced search and write around it and problem solved thank you all for your help in this matter was most appreciated

Thank you for submitting your solution. I'm sure it will help the next person.
