Script for Google search not working

I have a form with a text box and image. I want to search my website if a usre enters a keyword into the text box and clicks the go button. I am using the Google engine for the search. But its not working. Here is the code:

Also what I should put in the form action?

Some one gave me the url for the location.href and asked me to insert the "searchValue".

<script language = "Javascript">
function GoogleSearch(searchValue)
{
location.href="http://search.mypage.com/search?q=" + searchValue + "&sort=date&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&client=savin_template&proxystyle....";
}
</script>

in the above I didnt put the whole url. Its too long so I finished with...

Here is the Form code:
<form action=" " method="get" name="frmGoogle" onSubmit="GoogleSearch(this)">
<td align="right" valign="middle"><input type="text" name="search_field" size=20 class="search_field" /></td>
<td align="right">&nbsp;<input type="image" src="/images/go_.gif" id="gobutton" /></td>

</form>

<script language = "Javascript">
function GoogleSearch(searchValue)
{
location.href="http://search.mypage.com/search?q=" + searchValue + "&sort=date&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&client=savin_template&proxystyle....";
}
</script>

<form method='get' name='frmGoogle'>
<td align="right" valign="middle">
<input type="text" name="search_field" size=20 class="search_field" />
</td>
<td align="right">&nbsp;
<input type="image" src="/images/go_.gif" onclick='GoogleSearch(frmGoogle.search_field.value)'/></form>

Kasya, I just tried and it is still not working. It just refreshes the page and doesnt go to the requested url either.

Any ideas?

Why even use javascript? Check out this

_Aerospace_Eng_, yeh I checked the url you said. Its cool. But this one, I am not doing for my self. For some one else. So I have no choice - have to do what they say. So thats why I am doing with this javascript. THey gave me the string for the href.

Why is it not working? anything wrong in the script?

The href value looks incomplete. See the ... on the end? Make sure you got the full value.

Yes, I do have the full value. I just put ... for the forums. (the reason I didnt post the ful hrer is its very long and the other thing I am not sure whether its confidential and I dont want to get into trouble).

So why its not working (when I do with the full href in my computer). Did you try this with some other url?

Its not working because the form is submitting therefore not calling the function. You need to add return false to the function and then you need to use onsubmit="return GoogleSearch(this)"

Thanks _Aerospace_Eng_ :thumbsup:
