Search Box code help.

[ModernRevolutions]

Okay I am using the search box code from here (http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/jse/).

I am trying to use it here (http://www.modernrevolutions.vivid-avenue.net) and get a search bar like this (http://www.outspoken-kate.com).

What did I do wrong? Or forget to add?

The jse_form.js (http://www.modernrevolutions.vivid-avenue.net/jse_form.js) file doesn't exist. There could also be other issues. Try to follow the instructions provided in the doc.txt file.

Good luck!

The directions where confusing. The file is there now and I put the HTML in the results (http://www.modernrevolutions.vivid-avenue.net) page.

However, it is still not working... why does Javascript have to be so confusing!? lol

In jse_script.js, you have to put the locations of your files and the keywords:


s[0] = "JSE^form.html^Enter JSE in the example above ...^open source, free, client side";
s[1] = "JSE DOCUMENTATION^doc.txt^JSE is a client-side local site search engine. Written entirely in JavaScript 1.3 it works with browsers from Netscape 4.7 to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 ...^ faq, docs, instructions";

I suggest using PHP, considering you have to insert every page. (first you type the name of the document, then the location, then the description, then the key words, all separated by '^'s)
