How can I create a Google and Google Images search box?

Anything's possible in HTML and JavaScript!

The question is more "is this insanely difficult, or easily accomplished?"

The answer is ... well, kinda. I looked at this problem myself a couple of times but found that my limited knowledge of JavaScript made it a bit too much to figure out how to send the search query to a different address depending on whether the user indicated they wanted to search Google or Google Images.

Fortunately, I know a lot of great JavaScript programmers and developers, and one of 'em, Luke Kingland, offered to have a shot at it. Here's his solution:

Try it, you'll see, it works perfectly!

There are two parts to this solution, and then I sprinkled in some CSS magic to make it look pretty. Let's start with the FORM element, which is basic HTML:

What's kind of weird here is that the target URL, the "action" attribute, is basically left blank. That's because it's the JavaScript that's going to do the work, and that looks like this:

What I added is some simple CSS to make the search box a bit prettier. I did that by adding a "style" attribute to the FORM tag:

Put all the pieces together and here's the copy-and-paste code you can just drop into your Web page or profile as you'd like:

And there ya go! Hope this is helpful!
