    Question:
    I want to be able to have a browse button on a form so my customers can upload files to my website, but I am a novice at web design, and I can't figure out how to create the function. Thanks,

    Answer:
    Setting the form up is the easy part...you'll also need a script to handle the upload on the server end. As such, you'll need write access and access to your cgi-bin to put the script there.

    Then you'll need to make the script executable. Most upload scripts (and there are a bunch) give you all the details you'll need. You can find several here:

    Question:
    Dear Dr. Website:
    How can I both have a form submit and redirect to another page on one click of the submit button?

    Answer:
    You can use something like this to submit a form and redirect to another page:

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=3D"JavaScript"> function doit(){ document.jump.submit(); window.location=3D"http://www.yourdomain.com"; } </SCRIPT>
    <FORM METHOD=3DPOST ACTION=3D"mailto:you@yourdomain.com" NAME=3D"jump" ENCTYPE=3D"text/plain"> <INPUT Type=3Dtext Value=3D"">

    <INPUT TYPE=3DBUTTON VALUE=3D"Go" onClick=3D"doit(); return false;"> </FORM>

    As for NT with no sendmail, you can use another mailer such as DevMailer (http://www.geocel.com/devmailer/).
    Thanks,

    Question:
    Dear Dr. Website:
    I am interested in adding a site search utility to my site. One of your archived articles references Anchorpage (Iconovex)

    and Excite 1.0 EWS. I can find neither on the web. What suggestions can you make? Thanks

    Answer:
    Sure, you can use a search such as that provided by Atomz.com (http://atomz.com/search/).
