Hi!

The main point:

please replace all &amp;lt; with < and all &amp;gt; with >

The other thing is the case sensivity with your keywords, I was about to post to your other thread dealing with that search, but had no time :(

If you replace your whole searchLinks function with something like that, it doesn't matter whether you (in the arrays) or the user (in the textfield) use upper or lower case letters:

function searchLinks(links, keyword){
document.write("<BODY BGCOLOR='#FFFFFF' TEXT='#000000' LINK='#FF0000' VLINK='000080' ALINK='000080'>")
document.write("Search results for keyword: <strong>" +keyword +"</strong><br><br>");
for (var q=1; q <=links.length; q++) {

if (links[q].URL.toLowerCase().indexOf(keyword.toLowerCase()) != -1){
document.write("<a href=" + links[q].URL +">" + links[q].Name + "</a> - ");
document.write( links[q].Desc + "<br>");
continue;
}
if (links[q].Desc.toLowerCase().indexOf(keyword.toLowerCase()) != -1) {
document.write("<a href=" + links[q].URL +">" + links[q].Name + "</a> - ");
document.write( links[q].Desc + "<br>");
continue;
}
if (links[q].Name.toLowerCase().indexOf(keyword.toLowerCase()) != -1) {
document.write("<a href=" + links[q].URL +">" + links[q].Name + "</a> - ");
document.write( links[q].Desc + "<br>");
continue;
}
}
}

Please make sure to have "<" in the loops above that function!

Hey the searchfunktion works now.
But try it out (www.elev.solberga.se/kreja) (under search)

When ever you search on something the background off the next page is white.
What can i do to make the background have the same color as the page before?.


Ps.Go to the page and get the source code and youll find that the funktion generates a new page for every search. Thats the page i want to have a soecific bakroud color on.

Hi!

Please check out the line:
document.write("<BODY BGCOLOR='#FFFFFF' TEXT='#000000' LINK='#FF0000' VLINK='000080' ALINK='000080'>")
in your search file.
Replace it with
document.write("<BODY BGCOLOR='#FFFFFF' TEXT='#000000' LINK='#FF0000' VLINK='000080' ALINK='000080' background='../../images/grund/main.gif'>")

That should do the job...

Hi!

You are welcome!!

By the way, you still have errors un your page_lankar.htm
On top, it says
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
var images = new Array();
for(var x=0;x&lt;8;x++){
images[n]= new
Image(); images[n].src = "button-down_"+n+".gif"; }
</SCRIPT>

You better replace that with:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var images = new Array();
for(var x=0;x<8;x++){
images[x]= new Image(); images[x].src = "button-down_"+x+".gif"; }
//-->
</script>

okay thanx a buch

But i noticed something
and i thought what the hell?

Open my page www.elev.solberga.se/kreja
now move your mouse up and down as fast as you can over the left side of the page. (the laft side= over the buttons and the blue circle)

Now if you do it fast inough then the animation goes silly and it wont load.

Why is that?


one more thing is it okay to use that script you gave me twice on the same page?
or will that screw things up
