Search box showing results in same window

mitch54 · July 21st, 2010, 02:49 PM

I have a search box I'm using that returns the results in a different tab. How can I code this to open in the same tab/window?

Code:

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<form id="searchForm" action="http://vufind.carli.illinois.edu/vf-sic/Search/Home" method="get" name="searchForm" target="vufind">
	<fieldset><b>Search for DVDs and Videos: </b>
		<input name="start_over" value="1" type="hidden">
                <input id="lookfor[]" name="lookfor" size="10" type="text">
                <input name="format[]" value="Film / Video" type="hidden">
               	<input name="submit" value="Find" type="submit">
                <input name="search" value="new" type="hidden">
        </fieldset>
</form>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This produces the desired results, I just need them to post in the same window/tab...in other words, to replace the page that the search box is on....does that make sense??

Hi there,

Just take out the target attribute from the <form /> element....

What if I change the target to "_self"....will that work?

a) Why don't you try it out?

b) Why would you. No target means by default "submit to self"

Hope this helps
