I am struggling to get a search form in PHP to work with a fancybox iFrame. The search form queries a MySQL database and I want the results to show in the iFrame. However for some reason i can not get this to work. I have pasted the complete code below. Appreciate any support with this?

Java Script:

 <script type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function() {
      $("#tip5").fancybox({
      'scrolling'       : 'no',
      'titleShow'       : false,
      'onClosed'        : function() {
       $("#login_error").hide();
       }    
       });              
       });
       </script>

HTML/PHP

    <form method="post" action="test2.php?go" id="topF">
    <input type="text" name="name">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="tip5" href="#results" value="Search"  class="buttonSubmit">
    </form>


    <div id="results">
    <?php

    if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
        if(isset($_GET['go'])){
            if(preg_match("/[A-Z | a-z]+/", $_POST['name'])){
                $name=$_POST['name'];

                //-query the database table
                $sql="SELECT id, COMPANY, TOWN, COUNTY, ServiceStandards,Active FROM main WHERE Active='Y' AND COMPANY LIKE '%" . $name . "%' OR TOWN LIKE '%" . $name . "%'AND Active='Y' OR ServiceStandards LIKE '%" . $name . "%' AND Active='Y' OR COUNTY LIKE '%" . $name . "%'AND Active='Y'";
                $result5=mysql_query($sql);
                $numrows=mysql_num_rows($result5);

                echo "<p>" .$numrows . " results found for " . stripslashes($name) . "</p>"; 

                //-create while loop and loop through result set
                while($numrow=mysql_fetch_array($result5)){

                    $Company =$numrow['COMPANY'];
                    $Town=$numrow['TOWN'];

                    echo "</ul>";
                }
            }
            else{
                echo "<p>Please enter a search query</p>";

        }
    }
