Seth, you rock! The only problem left is when you enter 2 words in the form. It looks like this in the url: http://www.google.com/search?q=hotel Chicago, when it needs to have a + between the search words. Do you see a good place to parse that into the search string?

Anyone have any ideas why it won't work with Netscape 4.7? It calls up a new window with a 405 error. I may just do it with CF for Nutscrape. Here's the code: <script language="javascript"> <!-- shields up! var isIE = false; if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) { if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") { } else { isIE = true; } } /* Begin Kill Nesting */ setTimeout ("changePage()", 3000); function changePage() { if (self.parent.frames.length != 0) self.parent.location=document.location; } /* End Kill Nesting */ /*yummy....
