"Form problems..."

Help! I'm creating a search feature for my new site, and have got a pretty decent cgi script that searches from a .txt file that I can create. Firstly, how can I turn a graphic file I make into the submit button? Secondly, how can I make the search results open in a new window? Any code or even a url to a site specifying how this is done would be great.

Any help would be most appreciative.

Thanks,
Nammy :)

Yep - it works just fine. I had a bit of a problem testing it as when I uploaded it to my btinternet account it said it couldn't CHMOD it. Turns out I put it in the wrong place - I though bt's cgi directory was /cgi/ when it is actually the most common /cgi-bin/

Thanks anyway though. :)

Just wondering if you've got it working ok ???

No problems.... glad I could help.

CJH I mean...sorry!

Thanks CJC

Just write it as normal HTML. With the Search results inbetween... depending if your using PHP or Perl, it depends oh how you'd output it.

Also, how can I configure the 'search results' page to look like the others? At the moment its just a blank page with results, but I want to add the rest of the design like pictures and other stuff. Am I right at guessing you have to do some stuff with the cgi script?

Thanks for the help you two!

You can just add the target attribute to the form.

Would there be any other links on the Search Page??? If Not, then try putting this between the and teh Tags:
