how would you make a snippit that u insert it and it will have a single text box and u type in waht u want to search there, check boxes that say google, msn, yahoo, ect. that if selected will open a new window of the search of those sites. (i want each one to be a different window of each website its searching) how would i go about making this?

-- i found something simalar to what i want here: http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...e_search.shtml

but i still want it to be a check box and for each one is a new window and on that it searches the specific site i want to be able to search all of the web and have another check box that will search the page

Make the checkboxes an array and just use a for loop to open a new window. I can write and example later when I have time.

There are several ways to do it. Here is an example

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function goSearch(frm){
err = '';
count = 0;

if(frm.st.value == ""){
err += "Please enter a search term\n";
}

for(x=0; x<frm.se.length; x++){
if(frm.se[x].checked == true){
if(frm.st.value != ""){
switch(frm.se[x].value){
case 'google':
url = 'http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=' + frm.st.value;
window.open(url);
break;
case 'yahoo':
url = 'http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=' + frm.st.value;
window.open(url);
break;
case 'msn':
url = 'http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=' + frm.st.value;
window.open(url);
break;
}
}
count++;
}
}

if(count == 0){
err += "Please choose at least one search engine\n";
}

if(err != ""){
alert(err);
return false;
}
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
