since posting this I've found a script that works in Firefox
but not IE:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function setAction() {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf('Netscape') > -1) {
document.formName.action =
document.formName.selectName.options[document.formName.selectName.selectedIndex].value;
return true;
}
else {
alert('Sorry, your browser does not support the changing of
the action property of a form');
return false;
}
}
//--></SCRIPT>
Is there an alternative to changing the action of a form for
this ?
I basically want to create a search facility on the site.
From a text box, drop down and submit button I want the user to be
able to select the area of the site they wish to search and target
that area.
Two of the areas are database data, the other is going to be
text search in html. I can handle the queries/search results, I
just need to figure out how I can target the results page dependant
on the users choice of search category (from the drop down)
I had planned to just pass the variable form the text input
to the results page and the results page would do the rest from the
recordset sql query. But if I can't target a specific page
depending upon the users choice of category, how can I determine
what results to display ?
Any advice appreciated.
