I have some links such as web,images and Sound file and an input text with default value(query). When no changes in input text and user click on any link,it will go to search the qurey according to the link.

But the problem is when there is changes in input text and user click on the link.It keep to search the old query according to link.

I wish it able to detect and search new query.

Here my code:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function setquery(newquery) {
   var query = newquery;
}
</script>


print qq(<a href="/cgi-bin/result.cgi?cat=1&query=$query">WEB</a>  
                 <a href="/cgi-bin/result.cgi?cat=2&query=$query">IMAGES</a>  
                 <a href="/cgi-bin/result.cgi?cat=3&query=$query">SOUND FILE</a>              
                 
                 <br>
                 <form name="form_search" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/result.cgi">
                     <div align="center">
                                     <input type="text" name="query" value="$query" size="30" onchange="setquery(this.value)">
                       
                     <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Web Search" style="background-color:  #FFFAFA;">
                       <a href="/adsearch.html" class="one"><font size="-1">advanced web
                     search</a>
                     <input type="hidden" name="cat " value=1>
                     </div>
                     </form>);                                                }

How Perl can get the changes in input text and  assign it into link when user click on it?

Hi

Not entirely sure I understand what you mean,

but...

wouldn't this...

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="cat " value=1>

point all queries to the same 'cat' ?
(and theres some spaces in there that may be a bad thing)

And, do you need setquery() at all?

I am confused, could you describe your problem some more.

Thanks.

i solve this problem by having some new link for old query and input text only for new query.
