search facility

[blairdirect]

I'd Like to add the search facility to my main index page which has been created outside actinic.

How can I add it to a page I created in Dreamweaver??

for reference have a look at www.blairdirect.co.uk

this is a temporary index page (homepage) until I finish the new one

Kev,

It depends on whether you intend a simple search or advanced - advanced is described well in the Advanced User guide.

I invoke a simple search with the following :

<form id=simplesearch action="cgi-bin/ss000001.pl" METHOD="GET">
<input type=text name="SS" size="15" maxlength="125" value="Quick search" onFocus="this.value='';this.style.background='#FFFFFF'">
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type=submit name=ACTION value=" search ">
<input TYPE=hidden NAME="PR" VALUE="-1">
<input TYPE=hidden NAME="TB" VALUE="A">
<input TYPE=hidden NAME="SHOP" VALUE="">
</form>

Thanks Steve

for now I have linked a button to the search page within the actinic shop system however I'd like to just place an advanced box search on the front page.

I'm no goog with script (yet) however I'll try your method tommorow and see what that does.

Thanks for now mate and I'll let you know how it goes
