I've been trying to devise a way to put the list of saved searches into a dropdown. I've figured out how to use <dax:search> to iterate over them and <dax:searchname/> to get their names, but what I can't figure out is how to get the links. When I try to pass </dax:searchlink> or <dax:searchlink><dax:searchlink/> to a bit of Javascript, I get errors. (I was figuring on building an options list for the dropdown.)

Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks.

Probably not the most straightforward way, but it works. Place this code snippet where you want a dropdown:

[code]<!-- hidden div with generated search links -->
<div id="hidden_links" style="display: none">
<dax:search>

Thanks! This worked great! Now I don't have to worry that a large number of searches will crowd the template.
