Hi! I am going to put a site search in my site, but I have little problem. I find this example that I am going to use, but how can I change it so it won't open a new window but replace old one? Thanks for help :)

http://www32.brinkster.com/jjscripts/jscripts/creator.html does it all for you.

Thanks, but that creator supported only 8 pages. I am going to need more. Is it hard to change that code that I pasted earlier?

I know very little javascript, but I need that search engine..

If you need more pages, you can just add them to the code, which would be easier because it already supports opening on the same page.

Ok. I tried to add them to the code. By doing that I managed to add 12 pages, but when I added 13th page, it didn't work anymore. I tried to remove 13th page and then it worked again fine. Any tips?
