    Create a search function on a web page

    Hi guys, I have a problem here. I have created a textbox and a button for search function, how do I get it to work without using forms?

    Here is the code:

    <html>

    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    <title>Public Folder Help Desk</title>

    <script id=clientEventH andlersVBS language=vbscri pt>

    <!--

    Sub cmdSearch_oncli ck



    End Sub

    -->
    </script>

    </head>

    <body>
    <input type="text" name="txtSearch " size="18" tabindex="2">

    <input type="button" value=" Search " name="cmdSearch " tabindex="3">

    </body>

    </html>

    What must I enter in the Sub cmdSearch_oncli ck if I want to get the value where the user enters in the textbox?

      vbscript will only run in IE. Here's an example using Javascript.

      [CODE=html]<html>

      <head>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
      <title>Public Folder Help Desk</title>

      <script language=javasc ript>

      function search() {
      window.location ="http://www.google.com/search?q=" + window.escape(d ocument.getElem entById('txtSea rch').value)
      }

      </script>

      </head>
      <body>
      <input type="text" id="txtSearch" name="txtSearch " size="18" tabindex="2">
      <input type="button" value=" Search " onclick="search ();" name="cmdSearch " tabindex="3">

      </body>

      </html>[/CODE]

          Hmm. You say vb only run in IE? Isn't it suppose to run on IE or vb in HTML codes doesn't run for Outlook? Must I really use Javascript instead of VB? Sorry for lots of question because I'm new to these things. Thanks in advance.

                  Is there any one can help me here? VB script will be preferred. My textbox is created in the <body> but my VB statement all is done in the <script> and I can't get to reach the textbox as in there's error showing that "txtSearch" cannot found. Please help, urgent. Thanks alot. Here's the code:

                  <html>

                  <head>
                  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
                  <title>Public Folder Help Desk</title>

                  <script id=clientEventH andlersVBS language=vbscri pt>

                  <!--

                  Sub cmdSearch_oncli ck

                  (What statement should I put in here in order to make the search function works? And how can I get the data value that the user enter in the search textbox in the <body>? )

                  End Sub

                  -->
                  </script>

                  </head>

                  <body>
                  <input type="text" name="txtSearch " size="18" tabindex="2">

                  <input type="button" value=" Search " name="cmdSearch " tabindex="3">

                  </body>

                  </html>
