Not to steal Scott's fine tradition, but I just discovered this last night
and wanted to share it.

<tip type="Lasso">
If you're using the -OperatorBegin and -OperatorEnd tags to apply the same
operator to multiple fields in a Lasso search form, be sure that you give
the -OperatorEnd tag the same value as the -OperatorBegin. Some browsers
won't process an <input> tag without a value. The result is broken results
paging.
Why is this a tip? Because the Lasso documentation illustrates it
incorrectly, despite the mistake having been identified as far back as July
of 1998
The Lasso manual shows an example along these lines:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-opbegin" VALUE="or">
{ ... some form stuff ... }
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-opend">
Not the lack of a value attribute on the -opend tag. *That will break your
results paging in some browsers.*
You need to do this intead:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-opbegin" VALUE="or">
{ ... some form stuff ... }
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-opend" VALUE="or">
As long as you include the value attribute, the results paging function
[Shown_NextGroup] Next [/Shown_NextGroup]
will work.
