I'm having issues and may have found a possible bug in the Search Form (Advanced search) logic in Liferay 7.3. When I was running 6.2, I was able to add the following code to the liferay-ui:search container with drop-downs, input boxes, radios, etc.

Running - Liferay 7.3 GA6

<aui:nav-bar>

<aui:nav-bar-search>

<liferay-ui:search-form

page="/html/mySearch.jsp"

servletContext="<%=application%>" />

</aui:nav-bar-search>

</aui:nav-bar>

In mySearch.jsp, I had 3 select drop-downs when running 6.2 and it ran with no Javascript issues.

Now, when I have those same 3 drop-downs the search container javascript throws a javascript error if there isn't an input box in the Advanced search. This appears to be because the javascript behind this does a focus to the first input box. If there isn't one, it blows up and the Advanced search box is locked open.

If I have the following it works fine. I don't want the Zip code field there at the end.

<liferay-ui:search-toggle buttonLabel="Provider Search"

displayTerms="<%= displayTerms %>" id="toggle_id_request_search">

<br/>

<label class="practice_search_filter" for='<portlet:namespace/>practiceStateFilter'>State(s)</label>

<select multiple="multiple" name="<portlet:namespace/>stateCd" 

id="<portlet:namespace/>stateCd" class="multi" style="margin-bottom:25px">

<%for ( String s: liststates) {

if (s != null && !s.equalsIgnoreCase("")) { %>

<aui:option value="<%=s %>"><%=s %></aui:option>

<%} 

} %>

</select> 

<aui:input name="zipCode" label="Zip Code" maxLength="2"/>

</liferay-ui:search-toggle>

If I remove that last zipcode colum, I see the javascript error in the console and the search box won't close.. I didn't add any new Javascript so this seems to be a Liferay bug.
