Hide a form with javascript based on URL

Does anyone have code for hiding a form from displaying on certain webpages but not on others. I want the results to be that if the URL filename query string is ?Search= that the form does not display but if the filename query string is ?cat= then the form will display.

Here's the form code:
<form name="RefineSearchForm" action="SearchResults.asp" method="get">
<font size=2><b>
</b></font>
<select name="RefineBy_#*$!" onChange="this.form.submit()" class="RefineSearch">
<option value="">Find By type</option>
<option value="YYY">Type 1 (5)</option>
<option value="ZZZ">Type 2 (6)</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="Search" value="something">
</form>

Can a javascript be used in the <html><head> of a file to accomplish this based on the form name or the css class? I do not have access to all parts of the page but do have access to the websites template header and footer.

This is an example of where you would not want to use JavaScript. Search is probably a feature that you don't want to limit to users that have JavaScript enabled. The logic to show/hide the search form should be handled server side.
