Redirecting search results to iframe

[aboutautism]

Hi
I have installed phpdig to my site:
http://www.aboutautism.org.uk/phpDig/search.php

I have created a basic page with the form from the documentation page:
http://www.aboutautism.org.uk/test.htm

I have a search results page:
http://www.aboutautism.org.uk/search.htm

Is there a way in which I can target the search queerys from my form to appear in my results page?

I would like to incorporate the form into my default template so that it is available on all pages.

Does this thread get the results that you want?

Thank you.
The form is now posting correctly, but it still brings up the search results in a new window, I think my problem is that I am using iframes as opposed to normal frames.
My form is thus:

<form action="http://www.aboutautism.org.uk/phpDig/search.php" target="search_results_frame" method="post">
<input type="text" name="query_string" value="">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Go">
</form>


I have set
$result['form_head'] = "<form target='search_results_frame' action='$result_page' method='post'>
in the three locations within phpdig_functions.php as suggested.

I have created a search page, search.htm which contains an <iframe> which I have called 'search' using the 'name' function.

When I submit on my test page (test.htm) I need the search to appear within the <iframe> that exists within search.htm.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Martin

When I do a search at http://www.aboutautism.org.uk/search.htm I see the search results in a frame. When I click one the the search result links, the page opens in a new window. If it is the latter you want in the same window, look for LINK_TARGET in the config file.

Thanks for that - the links in the search page are now working much better

I am however, still stuck with my search form that I wanted to incorporate on all of my pages (see www.aboutautism.org.uk/test.htm)

Do you know if I can target my html search page ?
The html search page is www.aboutautism.org.uk/search.htm

Thanks for helping

In test.htm find:

<form action="http://www.aboutautism.org.uk/phpDig/search.php" target="search.htm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="query_string" value="">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Go">
</form>

And replace with:

<script language="JavaScript">
function setCookie(name1, name2, expires, path, domain, secure) {
        var querynam = 'query_string';
        var queryval = document.forms[name1].elements[name2].value;
        document.cookie= querynam + "=" + escape(queryval) +
        ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
        ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
        ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
        ((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
}
</script>

<form name="query_form" action="search.htm" method="post" onsubmit="setCookie('query_form','query_string')">
<input type="text" name="query_string" value="">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Go">
</form>

In search.php find:

if (ALLOW_RSS_FEED) {

And beforehand add:

if (strlen($query_string) == 0 && isset($_COOKIE['query_string'])) {
	if (strlen($_COOKIE['query_string']) > 0) {
		$query_string = $_COOKIE['query_string'];
		$_COOKIE['query_string'] = '';
	}
}

Keep the IFRAME in search.htm and see if these changes work.

If these changes don't work, the above may need tweaking or you can make a template like those in the templates folder.

Sorted!!!

Thank you very much - this worked perfectly and I will now replicate test.htm to my main template / other pages.
