Hi:
Number one I think this whole project rocks - one of the nicest - cleanest easy to work on or modify forums anywhere!!
Second - I thru a little multi search engine add-on in mine and it fits nice and easy install takes seconds>
How often you been on a board and seen something you want to check out further with google or your favorite engine. Means you have to to go google or another open a new window search etc !!
This puts it on your board with no wasted space.
Check it out on my board - PLEASE realize site is work in progress and I haven't finished the boards as I am just to heavy into code at the moment!!
http://www.u-1.ca/u1forum/index.phpanyways the code is :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function validate() {
stv=searchform.txtCriterium.value;
if (stv=='') {
alert('A word or phrase to search for must be placed in the empty box. Please try again.');
event.returnValue=false;
}
}
</script>
<form method="get" action="" name="searchform" id="searchform" onsubmit="javascript:return false;">
<TABLE width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="0" bgColor="#AFC6DB">
<tr>
<TD width="91%" height="40" valign="middle" align="center"><B><FONT face=Arial size="2">Search

<select style="width:120px;" id="selEngine">

<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="javascript:validate();if(this.form.txtCriterium.value.length<1){return false;} for(var i=0;i<this.form.selEngine.options.length;i++){if(this.form.selEngine.options
.selected){void(window.open(this.form.selEngine.options.value+this.form.txtCriterium.value,'_blank'))}};" >
</TD>
</TR>
