This looks like a view...

Does the controller that loads it include data?

// controller code
$data['keyword'] = 'somevalue';
$this->load('form', $data);

CI is complaining that $keyword hasn't been set.

Thanks for reply...

But some how my problem got fixed.
In form tag, I replaced &lt;?php echo site_url();?&gt; by &lt;?php base_url();?&gt; ..
and suddenly I got post values entered in form text field.

Not sure if this is correct or wrong....
