Hi all,

Is it possible to search as this site? I like it very much!!

http://www.webhosters.com/database/search/power/index.html

Sort of...The fields can be created similarly in DBMAN. However, things like the checkboxes with hyperlinks, those would have to be hard coded (Unless someone here has an idea of linking values within fields...It can be done, I know, but it would be complicated).

Regards,

Hello Kavis:

In html_view_search in html.pl locate this piece of code:

<tr><td>
<p><center><$font_title><b>
Search the Database
</b></font></center><br>
<$font>
|; &html_record_form(); print qq|
|; &html_search_options; print qq|
</font></p>
<p><center> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="view_records" VALUE="View Records"> <INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Reset Form"></center></p>
|; &html_footer; print qq|
</td></tr>

The key is to write your own html_record_form_search and then change the html_view_search so that it uses html_record_form_search instead of html_record_form. It should be quite manageable if you know HTML and Perl.

Thanks for your reply!

But is there any could give me a hand??

Kavis

A lot depends on what you want. Are you setting up a database that is identical to the site you mentioned?
