Mangled URI's - El Forum - 06-09-2009

Hi,
I am having some trouble with URI's. I'm sure someone will have come accross this before, but i can't even think of a simple description for it to help norrow my searching for an answer!!!
I have a controller called 'search' which i can access via www.mydomain.com/search (accessing the 'index' method)
this contains a search form, which when submitted returns from the 'results' method.
Normally this works fine, but every so often, insead of returning from the submit with the url www.mydomain.com/search/results i instead get www.mydomain.com/search/search/results
This gives me just the index method again, which is obviously no good.
Initially i thought it may be a browser bug, but having tried in various browsers, it always seems to happen sooner or later.
The odd thing is i can't seem to identify the offending action which causes it to happen. Sometimes, even without altering any source code, after browsing a few pages, it just suddenly happens.
The second odd point is that it will eventually get back on track. entering the site again sometimes cures the problem, i guess since i then have a clean url in part, but cleaning the url alone won't fix it.
does anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing this? i am completely out of ideas!
P.S. even a way of describing this so i can go off and google it would be a help!!!)

You're probably using a relative path for your form action ("search/results") when you need an absolute path ("<?php print site_url('search/results') ?>")

Damn it!
Sadly that hasn't fixed the problem completely, i still get occasional mangled url's!!!!
anyone have any other thoughts?
EDIT: I think i may have narrowed the cause...
I am using jquery for client side scripts. I also include jquery.autocomplete.js.
It seems using the autocomplete increases the chances of the oerror happening....
does this mean anything to anyone?

ok, to add to that, i may be wrong but it seems if i start an autocomplete, get the results, but escape, and don't select a result, it seems to imcrease the chances or the problem occuring...
