Search Form

[sean.ferguson]

i am in the process of re-designing my website, one of the functions is a form the searches google, i have it working but there is one bug that i can't get fixed.

this is the code i have for the form

    <form id="search" action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get"> 
      <input name="q" type="text" size="10"> 
      <a href="">search</a> 
    </form>

now, if you type something into the text box and press enter, it searches google fine with no problems whatso ever, but the..

<a href="">Search</a>

i dont know what i am supposed to have in the link?

any help will be greatly apprieciated 🙂

<input type="submit" value="Search" />

You can change the button to an image too (Wouldn't recommend that, tis just annoying 😛) I'm pretty sure to submit a form with a text link would require some form of JavaScript.

Apparently this works

<a href="javascript:this.form.submit()">submit this form</a>
