Search Methods.

[gmaltais]

Hello...

I was hoping to get some advise. I am working on creating a page where a group of members can type in a code in a search bar and get the results of that code...

Example:
Search String "001-00a"

Resulting Static Page 001-00a; The customer has requested the proper documentation and the next step in the process is XYZ.

I know this can be done in ASP but the option is not doable. We do not have that capability. These pages need to be static. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Guy

Hi Guy,

Not quite sure I understand the question. Do you have a search application installed on the server currently?

Are you wanting the query entered into the search box to open a page with the same name as the query string?

Sorry for the confusion. :)

Hi Mack,

Thanks for the response...

There is no Server Application running on the server. I was hoping to use FORMS to perform this procedure.

It's a little difficult to explain what I would like to do.

The site will be on an Intranet... The person that is requesting this does not have Access to the webserver except to put up a few files. As far as installing the server software that would allow ASP, that is not doable.

By using standard FORMS can a search function be implemented? Perhaps a drop down menu that is linked to result page would make more sense...

Thanks again,,,
Guy

typed-in search requires string matching.
you CAN do it with a form and javascript, but the code involved is daunting & it's probably not worthwhile.

a select box is your best option
