fetch and post form results to page

[jbob]

I've been trying to modify this script to post the result of the form search to the same page (below the form) instead of opening a new page. So far had no luck, I tried changing newWindow=window.open to window.location = results_location;

and also tried adding

//load a "search results" page, using data from a form with an ID of "search""
$.mobile.loadPage( "searchresults.php", {
type: "post",
data: $("form#search").serialize()
});

This is the original source code unedited...

<script language="javascript">

So what am i doing wrong? Have I missed something or am I just way off the mark?

Because you want to display an HTML page in a html page the first thing you need to to do is create a iframe and position it :
<iframe src="your search page"></iframe>
The src="your search page" will be generated by your javascript.
