Javascript keyword search description - what does this do?

Nov 20 '08, 03:15 PM

hi,

i stumbled accross a piece of coding in the between the <head> tags where you normally put your keywords etc and one website i saw had this piece of javascript there.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- 
//Keyword search function
		function searchfocus() {
			searchform.Query.focus();
}
//Compute search function
	function computesearch() {
		var pathValue = "/websites/UK/uk.nsf/SearchResults/?SearchView&Query=";
		var queryValue = document.searchform.Query.value;
		location = pathValue + queryValue;
}

function windowOpener(url, name, args) {
if (typeof(popupWin) != "object"){
popupWin = window.open(url,name,args);
} else {
if (!popupWin.closed){ 
popupWin.location.href = url;
} else {
popupWin = window.open(url, name,args);
}
}
popupWin.focus();
}
// -->
</script>

Can anyone let me know what this is actually doing please?

Thanks

You're probably asking about this piece of code:

Code:

//Compute search function function computesearch() { var pathValue = "/websites/UK/uk.nsf/SearchResults/?SearchView&Query="; var queryValue = document.searchform.Query.value; location = pathValue + queryValue; }

It opens/redirects to a search results page for the query value entered in the "Query" input text box.
