I'm attempting to incorporate the forum search facility within a HTML text/drop-down box combination.
This is what I have so far:
and this is the HTML for the form:
<FORM ACTION="http://search.freefind.com/find.html" METHOD="GET" target="_self">
<FONT size=2 face="arial" color="#FFFFFF"><b>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="id" SIZE="-1" VALUE="xxxxxx">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="pageid" SIZE="-1" VALUE="r">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mode" SIZE="-1" VALUE="ALL">
<INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="n" value="0">Search Bandlink
for: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="query" SIZE="20"> in: <SELECT NAME="s">
<OPTION VALUE="bands" SELECTED>Bands/Artists</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="labels">Record Labels</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="radio">Radio Stations</OPTION>
</SELECT> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="GO">
</font></b></FORM>
As you can see, the form takes the user to a search results page if they search for something with the drop-down pointing to either Bands/Artists, Record Labels or Radio Stations. I want a fourth option 'Forums' which would either a) take the user to a page with the search results created using the form and search.asp (basic search/not archived posts) OR b) take the user to the search.asp page, with their search criteria in the search box allowing for a more detailed search.
Is any of this possible using just the one form?
TIA

Okay, perhaps I can solve the problem with Javascript, or use the Freefind software to include searching the forums... which would be costly. Thanks anyway.
