hi!
i have a (probably very stupid) question about the following:

I want to make a type of search textbox which uses the google.nl search website.

here's what I have so far:

<body>
<input type="text" name="zoek_vraag">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function replaceCharacters(conversionString,inChar,outChar)
{
var convertedString = conversionString.split(inChar);
convertedString = convertedString.join(outChar);
return convertedString;
}
function replaceCharacters2(conversionString2,inChar2,outChar2)
{
var convertedString2 = conversionString2.split(inChar2);
convertedString2 = convertedString2.join(outChar2);
return convertedString2;
}
//-->
</script>
<a href='$convertedString2' onclick="replaceCharacters(zoek_vraag,' ','+');replaceCharacters2('http://www.google.nl/search?q=XXXXXXXXXX&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=nl&btnG=Google+zoeken&lr=','XXXXXXXXXX',convertedString)">Zoeken</a>
</body>


A translation:
zoek = search
Zoeken = Search!
vraag = question/query


What am i doing wrong???
It's ok if the hyperlink becomes a button, I'm not sure which is better to use.
thanx!

Have a look at http://javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex14.shtml. Google.nl probably provide their own service where you can put their search engine on your site(google.com does.)

Hope this helps,
