Validating google site-search

[trigger_tre]

OK I am redesigning my church website for better functionality and started working on the search engine.

I am trying to build it so thats its xhtml strict compliant. I succesfully changed a few things in the google site-flavored search engine code so that it would validate under these standards.

However at the moment I have to keep the radio button as is. If I remove it and do a search the results displays results from the entire web, and not just my site as I would like it to.

Ok my test page is http://harvestwhitecounty.com/newtest.php

This is the code originally given to me by google...
<!-- SiteSearch Google -->
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/custom" target="_top">
<table border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<tr><td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top" align="left" height="32">

</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="harvestwhitecounty.com"></input>
<label for="sbi" style="display: none">Enter your search terms</label>
<input type="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value="" id="sbi"></input>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" id="ss0"></input>
<label for="ss0" title="Search the Web"><font size="-1" color="#000000">Web</font></label></td>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="harvestwhitecounty.com" checked id="ss1"></input>
<label for="ss1" title="Search harvestwhitecounty.com"><font size="-1" color="#000000">harvestwhitecounty.com</font></label></td>
</tr>

:eek: TABLES.....OMG! It obviously didnt comply with strict XHTML so I altered it a little to this...

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/custom">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="harvestwhitecounty.com" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value="" id="sbi" />
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="harvestwhitecounty.com" id="ss1" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" id="sbb" />
<input type="hidden" name="client" value="pub-1495259235454738" />
<input type="hidden" name="forid" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />
<input type="hidden" name="oe" value="ISO-8859-1" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="GALT:#008000;GL:1;DIV:#336699;VLC:663399;AH:center;BGC:FFFFFF;LBGC:FFFFFF;ALC:0000FF;LC:0000FF;T:000 000;GFNT:0000FF;GIMP:0000FF;LH:50;LW:200;L:http://harvestwhitecounty.com/image/harvest_logo.jpg;S:http://harvestwhitecounty.com/image;FORID:1" />
<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en" />
</div>
</form>

With it coded like this it validates and works properly but the radio button is still there and I am unsure of how to delete it so my results are from my site only, not the entire web.

thanks in advance,

Change the type from radio to hidden. That should do the trick. That way the value is still passed when the form is submitted but it isn't shown.

Worked.

thank you.
