Searching CD-ROM How to??

hassified · Aug 6, 2003

Hello everyone,
I made a CD with about 600 pics all named with numbers.
Then made an HTML doc so to browse through them (all in a scrollable list). Then figured out how to have it autorun upon inserting into the computer. Now, everthing is working just fine but, would like to add a search field, so someone could type the number of the pic hit a button and have it come up. Is there a way to do this?? Don't know if this should be a Javascript or HTML question but, if someone could please point me in the right direction I would be really grateful. Thanks in advance.

PS: This maybe needed info, I saved the HTML doc as an .HTA file.

I found what I needed

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form onsubmit="return false;">
<input type="text" id="foo" name="foo" value=Hello>
<input type="button" value="Get It" onclick="document.bar.src='images/'+this.form.foo.value+'.jpg'">
</form>
<img src="images\bg\notice.jpg" width="50px" height="50px" alt="" name="bar">
</body>
</html>

Then just change the path to the images and the type of images it will be calling up('images/')('.jpg').
Then you can change the first image that shows on startup("images\bg\notice.jpg&quot

.
You also can change the text in the field that shows at startup(Hello).
Now you can change the size of pics to be shown by changing the number in the width="400px" height="400px".

Now this codes works if in the root directory you have the files:
images(folder where images are stored)
index.html (HTML doc)
