 * Ok so I’ve set up a few categories with different links and one category that
   searches them all. The problem I’m having is that it only selects whatever link
   is highlighted in cat 1 and goes to that link. If I try to select a link from
   cat 2 or 3 and press the go button it takes me to link that is selected in cat
   1. Please advise.
 * Example
 * Cat 1
    go button
 * cat2
    go button
 * cat 3
    go button
 * cat4 to search all cats and for link submission.

 * The problem is that when you click the button, it goes to look at the value of
   the dropdown and always stops after it finds the first one.
 * The way around this would be to use different libraries for each category drop-
   down. You should increase the number of categories, then copy the existing one
   a few times.
 * Then, under the Advanced section, in the Before first link field, change the 
   class name for the select list. Update the code for each go button to get data
   from the correct select list.
 * Let me know if this makes sense and resolved your issue.
