shumbora Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hello all , be4 I say anything else I would like to let it be known that am as much of a noob as they come , that said, I have a question. On my page I have a search feature that could search other sites for the users input it works great but the thing is that I have to of these pages to search 2 different sets of pages like for example one page would search google , yahoo and another page would search AltaVista and alltheweb im just using these search engines for an example. I’ll post the code so you can see what I am talking about. Basically I don’t want to have 2 different pages I would like to have one master search page where via radio buttons users can choose between the 2 sets of pages to to searchHere is my html[CODE]<html><head><title>testing,,</title></head><body><script language=JavaScript src="test.js" type=text/javascript></script><div align="center"><form name="searchForm1" action="" onSubmit="javascript:engine1(this.engine.options[this.engine.selectedIndex].value,this.go.value); return false;"><select name="engine" class="drop_down"><option value="-1" selected>Select a search engine</option><option value="1" >Google</option><option value="2">yahoo</option></select><input name="go" class="text_field" size="20" maxlength="35" /><input name="submit" type="submit" class="search_button" value="Search" /></form></div><iframe id="inpage" style="width:600px;height:400px" src="http://www.google.com"></iframe></body></html>[/CODE]This is my .js file[CODE]unction doSearch( selectedIndex, searchTerm ) { if ( selectedIndex < 0 ) { alert("Please select a search engine!"); return false; } else if ( searchTerm == "" ) { alert("No search term!"); return false; }DoTheSearchInTheFrame(SEARCH_DATA[selectedIndex][1], SEARCH_DATA[selectedIndex][0]);}function engine1( selectedIndex, searchTerm ){ SEARCH_DATA= new Array(73); <!--SEARCH_DATA[value]= new Array( window name , url ) --> SEARCH_DATA[1]= new Array("google","http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q="+escape(searchTerm)+"&btnG=Recherche+Google&meta="); SEARCH_DATA[2]= new Array("yahoo","http://search.yahoo.com/search?p="+escape(searchTerm)+"&sm=Yahoo%21+Search&fr=FP-tab-web-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8");doSearch( selectedIndex, searchTerm ); return true;}function DoTheSearchInTheFrame(var_a,var_b){eval("document.getElementById('inpage').src=var_a");}[/CODE]It is the same for the other sets just with different search data. Am not sure if this is even possible but I cooked up an image that should explain exactly what am talking about take a look[IMG]http://i4.tinypic.com/244d2tv.jpg[/img]it doesn’t work but i hope the image gave you an idea of what im talking about. Any comments will be greatly appreciated and thanx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
