Getting Value from Text Box 2

[gpalmer711]

Hi Guys,

You may feel that this problem is better suited in either an ASP or Javascript forum, if so let me know and i'll move it there.

I have a website that is going to comprise of two asp pages and one access database. main.asp will be the page that loads the main content based on the QueryString. On this page is a search box, which is a simple <Input type=text> situation. Due to the page layout I couldn't enclose it in the <form> tags because of the container that it adds - it really messed up the layout.

What I need to do is when the search button is pressed, two text strings, "search.asp?content=" & text from box, are added together and then the browser redirects to that url.

So anyone have any ideas on how to either have the form tags without the annoying container or to do the above woulf be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by "the annoying container"? If you're talking about the line break and whitespace generated by a <form> element, these can be suppressed by CSS.

This is what I am talking about. I am using css to suppress the border around the text box - however I couldn't find anything similar for the actuall form. Can someone point me in the right direction?

form {border:0; margin:0; padding:0;}

Is that what you mean?

An alternative in your case would be:

form { display: inline; }

Since you actually want it to display the form inline. Forms by default are block elements, just like divs and tables.

Now I just feel plain DUMB - I daren't say how long I have wasted on this

Thanks all
