searchArgs when table rendering

[Mike Myers]

Site structure:

mysite.category1.default
mysite.cateogry2.default

The "default" pages are addresses pointing to another odb table. There is a
table rendering script in #tools. All that works just fine.

I wanted to add additional functionality, where a link from a page in
another site could supply a search argument and my table renderer could look
for it in the page table and act accordingly.

The url would look something like:

  oh.me.com/mysite/category1/default?topic=blah

When I set this up, I get an error "Can¹t evaluate the expression because
the name ³tools² hasn¹t been defined."

I suspect this might be due to a limitation of Frontier's table rendering
scheme, because debugging code indicates that my table renderer is not even
being called. In fact, even a URL like this will fail:

  oh.me.com/mysite/category1/default

I'm seeking confirmation and suggestions on how to else to do this. One
option is to create a single handler page which extracts the url params,
then POST the values to the appropriate page with tcp.httpClient(). (those
pages handle form data via loopback).
