Help with Javascript Site-Search Bar

[ameliamartin]

I have a code for creating a search bar to search words on an unpublished site that i am developing. I was wondering where to enter the keywords, can anyone help me? Thanks;

<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- Original by http://javascript.internet.com More javascripts http://www.************** --> 
					
var NS4 = (document.layers); // Which browser? 
					
var IE4 = (document.all); 
					
var win = window; // window to search. 
					
var n = 0; function findInPage(str) 
					
{ var txt, i, found; 
					
if (str == "") return false; // Find next occurence of the given string on the page, wrap around to the 
				  // start of the page if necessary. 
					
if (NS4) 
{ 
// Look for match starting at the current point. If not found, rewind 
// back to the first match. 
					
if (!win.find(str)) 
					
while(win.find(str, false, true)) 
					
n++; else n++; // If not found in either direction, give message.
					 
if (n == 0) alert("Not found."); } 
					
if (IE4) 
					
{ txt = win.document.body.createTextRange(); // Find the nth match from the top of the page. 
					
for (i = 0; i <= n && (found = txt.findText(str)) != false; i++) 
					
{ txt.moveStart("character", 1); 
					
txt.moveEnd("textedit"); } // If found, mark it and scroll it into view. 
					
if (found) 
					
{ txt.moveStart("character", -1); 
					
txt.findText(str); 
					
txt.select(); 
					
txt.scrollIntoView(); n++; }   // Otherwise, start over at the top of the page and find first match. 
					
else { if (n > 0) { n = 0; findInPage(str); }  // Not found anywhere, give message. else alert("Not found."); } } 
					
return false; } 
					
</script>


<form name="search" onSubmit="return findInPage(this.string.value);"> 
								
<div align="center" font size=3> 
									
<input name="string" type="text" size=15 onChange="n = 0;"> 
				
</font> 
							
<input type="submit" value="Search Page">
								
</div> 
							
</form>

1) IE4 and NS4 have long been one with Nineveh and Tyre. <script language=javascript> is long deprecated and obsolete. In short, this is ancient code.

2) Please help us to help you by following the posting guidelines and wrapping your code in [code] tags. This means use the octothorpe or # button on the toolbar which will insert opening [ code ] and closing [ /code ] tags - omit the spaces. You can (and should) edit your previous post. And also please the remove the blank lines.
