On submit form search the web

**dntel** · 10-20-2011 10:59 AM

Hey Guys,

I have made a small form for some Javscript practice because I want to get back into it - codes below. You enter a term - it opens a google search page and searches for the term + site:site.com.

Can someone point me in the right direction for a couple of things:

1) I'd like it to open in Chrome not IE (eww)
2) I would like to not open a page but display the results in a frame below my form.

If anyone has any pointers that would be great - its a good way to learn!

Thanks,
Liam

Code:

<head>
<style type="text/css">

.btnSubmit{
cursor:pointer;
border:outset 1px #ccc;
background:#999;
color:#white;
font-weight:bold;
padding: 1px 2px;
margin-left: 0px;

}
</style>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link {color: #000000; text-decoration: underline; }
a:active {color: #000000; text-decoration: underline; }
a:visited {color: #000000; text-decoration: underline; }
a:hover {color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none; }
-->
</style> 

<script type="text/javascript">
function googleSearch() {
  if (document.doingasearch.searchbox.value!="") {    
      window.open("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=" + document.doingasearch.searchbox.value + " site:www.mediafire.com");        
  }
  else {
    alert("Please enter something to search.")
    document.doingasearch.searchbox.focus();
  }
}
</script>

</head>
<BODY link="black">

 <div>
 <form name="doingasearch" id="doingasearch">
	<p style="color:black; font-family: Lucida Console; font-size:11px">Enter Search Term:</p>
	<input type="text" name="searchbox" id="doingasearch" cols=30 rows=3 style="background-color:black; color:white; font-family: Lucida Console; font-size:11px"></input>
	<br />
	<br />
	<input type="button" value="Go!" onclick="return googleSearch();">
	
	<br />
	
</form>
	
	
	
</div>
  
 </BODY>

</HTML>

Cheers,
Liam

For iframe part of the question, check this article out. But I don't know it is possible to let you choose which browser to open the content with.
