You need to use the GET method to GET data from the database to view.

What do you mean you added this search panel? Did you manually add the codes? Or are these codes included in LINKS built pages?

One suggestion...use SSI to include a text file with the search box codes, that you only have to edit one file rather than individual web pages if need be.

SSI to includes do not work on other people servers I have add option to add a search pannel when they link to me.

You tell me what I should have doe, can you tell me what to do?

I have used GET and not POST and it still will not work?

Uh...using GET will work for the search script. What you will have to do is make an annoucement to these other site owners to change the HTML codes.

Well, it is odd that POST method is working. But it is working in both MIE 3.02 and 4.0 and Netscape 3.0, 4.05, 4.06.

I don't see your problem.
