Hi,

O.k. If I cannot do what I intended to do.

How about this then:

I have a submit form page, which I have made for my website! That submits criteria to a search engine; the search engine does not belong to me.
The results come back in the same explorer window BUT with the search engine own page hence the user is not in my site no more.

Is it possible to have your own submit form page but use someone else’s search engine and make the results page come back in a pop up window, just by editing the code in the submit form page.

Hence the user can close the pop up window and still be in my website!


Please note: I cannot edit the code of the search results page, but I can edit the submit form (where the user enters there search criteria). Also I can make more web pages.

Thanks, if you can help me.

(p.s. thanks to HowardMarks and Cian for getting back to me.)
 
thanks for that code wullie, that was very appreciated help!

but could it be improved by make the pop up window just a window with a X button on it, so the user cannot see the address bar etc...

also could the window be fixed to a certain size, so i can make the pop up window a small one, also the pop up window appears just in the left hand side of the screen.
