Basic Form Use 101: For (advanced) Dummies

Hi,

This is very basic code for a search form

        <form name="form2" method="post" action="">
          <p><span class="sub5">SEARCH: </span> 
            <input name="textfield3" type="text" size="20" maxlength="20">
            <input name="imageField2" type="image" src="images/arrowovalb.gif" align="top" width="22" height="23" border="0">
            &nbsp; </p>
        </form>

HTML:

Now, I don't want to program searching the current site, how do I:

1. Pass the keyword(s) entered to another URL
2. and pre-input the words into a text field called '___' (search related topic)
3. And what code is needed at the other site to input the 'data'

This doesn't seen really advanced, I've just not done the details before.
Thank you, very much.

 

1. <form name="form2" method="post" action="/processForm.php">

2. <input value="xxxxx" name="textfield3" type="text" size="20" maxlength="20">

3. processForm.php

 

Nice

I'll experiment, and enjoy seeing what happens.

• I'm really close to understanding
• The only part I'm not sure of
• Will be easier to describe after I try it

Nothing beats experience for really learning.
Thanks
