Help Me! Please.

I messed up bad in the settings on WW.

[Taronket]

I feel quite stupid. Anyway I used to have A google search box at the top of each page. Someone asked me for the code for a google box so I went into Control Panel- System settings (we're talking about WW.com here not my pc :P) cut out the bit of the code that (I thought) searched WW and gave him the google bit. However I was dumb enough to hit apply changes or whatever. so now I am stuck with:

<center><form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank<input TYPE="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value><input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Google"</center>
In the custom code at the top of the page form. Now I cannot change any settings - whenever I hit apply it just opens up Google in a new window. Lol- Anyway is there some way this can be fixed? And why does it execute that submit when I try to apply any changes?

AAAHHH- I just tried to post the above on my username Teknorat and it opened a Google window. I think what I've done is cause any submit function to submit the Google code. Help!

Not sure I get it...

The full Google search code for WebmasterWorld is:

<center>
<form target="_blank" method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="webmasterworld.com">
<input TYPE="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value>
<input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Google">
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="webmasterworld.com" checked>  webmasterworld.com <input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value>www</form>
</center>

If you put this in your preferences and press the Submit button does that work?

[Taronket]

That works fine- but I edited it and stupidly saved the edit so it is now:

<center><form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank<input TYPE="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value><input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Google"</center>

So now anything on the forum that require POST doesn't work instead it just pops up an empty Google search.

[Taronket]

Which means I can do nothing- I cannot change any settings or post.

I think that is going to be one for Brett. Hang in there Tekno/Taren! ;)

<center><form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank<input TYPE="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value><input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Google"</center>

You're missing the closing </form> tag ;)
...and a closing bracket

<center><form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank<input TYPE="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value><input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Google"></form></center>

I reset ya...

[Taronket]

Thank you very much :)

[Taronket]

Heh- Actually you haven't- It's the user Teknorat that needs resetting.

[DaveAtIFG]

Try it now TR.

[Taronket]

Nope- Still the old Google button there and a nice google pop up every time I try to post.

[DaveAtIFG]

I reset your "User skin" a second time. You may need to flush your browser cache or reset cookies at your end. Let us know either way, maybe the reset doesn't reset anymore...

[Taronket]

Still no good- I flushed the cache and even used another proxy. Something else a little weird- I posted this somment (yes this one right here) before and it was there now it has dissapeared so I'm posting again.

[Taronket]

Still no good ..... :(

[DrDoc]

...and you can't get in there to fix the form yourself?

[Taronket]

I can get in there but every time I go to apply the changes it just pops up a new window with a google search. It's like that bit of script is executing all the POST commands on the site. Try it yourself and see! (Actually don't.)

Taronket, you're not alone. I killed a profile doing more or less the same thing. Every post button on my aevea profile submits to google.

[Taronket]

Well at least I don't feel like a total idiot now. Brett or someone are you sure you can't just go into the Database and delete that entry?

[Brett_Tabke]

[Teknorat]

It is fixed! Hooray! Thank you ever so much.
