New page in same window

**Burgin** · 12-21-2008, 06:40 AM

I've come across this script for searching Wikipedia but it opens the results page in a newWindow, what needs changing to open the results in the same window?

Code:

<!--begin
var keyword;
document.form.wsearch.value==keyword
function fin_search_wiki()
{
if(document.form.wsearch.value=="")
window.alert("Enter a keyword in the Search Box!");
else{
document.form.wsearch.value==keyword;
if(document.form.engine_wiki.value=="wiki")
window.open("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search="+document.form.wsearch.value+"&fulltext=Search");
else
window.alert("Select Your Search Engine");
}
return;
}
-->

Change:

Code:

window.open("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search="+document.form.wsearch.value+"&fulltext=Search");

to:

Code:

window.open("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search="+document.form.wsearch.value+"&fulltext=Search", "_self");

I've tried your suggestion but it doesn't work. here's the page...

That page is a mess, so is this one, but at least it does what I think you want:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head>
	<title>Wikipedia Tool</title>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
	<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">


</head>
<body>


    <div id="body-right">
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <div id="wiki">
	  <form action="#" id="searchform" name="form" onsubmit="fin_search_wiki();return false;">
	  <input name="ysearch" id="ysearch" type="text" value="Search" onKeyPress="checkKey()" onFocus="if (this.value=='Search'){this.value='';};return false;" onBlur="if (this.value==''){this.value='Search';return false;}">
      <input name="submit" type="image" src="http://www.traveladvisorsgroup.co.uk/assets/images/logos/wiki_neg.gif" alt="Search for information from Wikipedia!" width="86" height="16" />
      <input name="hidden" type="hidden" id="engine_wiki" value="wiki">
	  </form></div>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
    </div>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	  <!-- begin
var keyword;
document.form.ysearch.value==keyword
function fin_search_wiki()
{
if(document.form.ysearch.value=="")
window.alert("Enter a keyword or a “news item” in the Search Box!");
else{
document.form.ysearch.value==keyword;
if(document.form.engine_wiki.value=="wiki")
window.open("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search="+document.form.ysearch.value+"&fulltext=Search", "_self");
else
window.alert("Select Your UK Search Engine");
}
return;
}
// -->
    </script> 

</body>
</html>

But you really need no javascript to accomplish the basic goal:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<head>
	<title>Wikipedia Tool</title>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>


	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <p>&nbsp;</p>
	  <form action="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search">
    <div>
	  <input name="search" type="text" value="Search">
      <input type="image" src="http://www.traveladvisorsgroup.co.uk/assets/images/logos/wiki_neg.gif" alt="Search for information from Wikipedia!">
      <input name="fulltext" type="hidden" value="Search">
    </div>
	  </form>
</body>
</html>

Which then led me to this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<head>
<title>Wikipedia Tool</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
span { 
 font-variant: small-caps;
}
input {
 vertical-align: middle;
}
span input {
 width: 86px;
 height: 16px;
 vertical-align: bottom;
 padding-bottom: 0.375ex;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

(function(){
 var check = function(e){
  var t = e || window.event, v;
  t = t.target || t.srcElement;
  t = t.elements.search;
  t.blur();
  v = t.value;
  if (!v || v == 'Search'){
   alert('Please Enter a Keyword or a \u201cNews Item\u201d in the Search Box.');
   if (e.preventDefault)
    e.preventDefault();
   t.focus();
   return false;
  }
  return true;
 };

 var focusBlur = function(e){
  e = e || window.event;
  var i = e.target || e.srcElement, t = e.type, v = i.value;
  i.value = t == 'blur' && v == ''? 'Search' : t == 'focus' && v == 'Search'? '' : v;
 };

 var init = function(){
  var f = document.forms.wiki;
  if (f.addEventListener){
   f.addEventListener('submit', check, false);
   f = f.elements.search;
   f.addEventListener('focus', focusBlur, false);
   f.addEventListener('blur', focusBlur, false);
  }
  else if (f.attachEvent){
   f.attachEvent('onsubmit', check);
   f = f.elements.search;
   f.attachEvent('onfocus', focusBlur);
   f.attachEvent('onblur', focusBlur);
  }
 };

 if (window.addEventListener)
  window.addEventListener('load', init, false);
 else if (window.attachEvent)
  window.attachEvent('onload', init);
})();

</script>
</head>
<body>
 <p>&nbsp;</p>
 <p>&nbsp;</p>
 <form name="wiki" action="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search">
