Adding new search functions

[tyv]

Hi,

I want to add a new search function (Drop Down Menu) to search the
database in my website. I managed to add the search filter and the
options, but I am unable to get it to actually work. Whenever I
select one of the options and click search, nothing happens. When I
click on the yellow icon at the bottom of IE (that yellow triangle
with an exclamation point) it says "object expected".

Anyone have any suggestions or sample scripts that would help fix
this? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Possibly you will want to submit the form in order to query your
database at the server:

<form method="get" action="page.php">
<select size="1" name="s">...options...</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>

This is the most common option when your database is not fully present

 When I click on the yellow icon at the bottom of IE (that yellow
triangle with an exclamation point) it says "object expected".

You are looking at the error console of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
"Object expected" is usually a syntax error, because the code refers
in that case to a non-existing object.

Anyone have any suggestions or sample scripts that would help fix
this?  Thanks in advance for any advice.

Probably you need to dig a little deeper into the language first.

Hope this helps,
