Can someone point me on how to create a search within a web page that I for example have created.
What are the tools that I need to have and what is best to use.

Can this be done with php or with asp or with...???
IF so ...can you tell me about a link where I can get some info about this ???

Thx

to search within a page press Ctrl+F and it will bring up a dialog box or you could use some javascript.

serverside code such as ASP or PHP cannot search a page once it has been sent to the browser.

He may be talking about a site-wide search a la Google's site-wide search.

Allan, is that what you mean? Are you looking for site-wide search capability?

I mean something like this:

On this first link on the left part it has a place where you can type your zip code and it gives different info depending on what your zip code is.
How can this be done

You would require at least three parts:

1) A server side parser such as php, asp or .NET in order to connect to a database and process the collected information

2) A database (such as mySql) to store information like regions/zones, catagories, product information, etc.

3) Basic javascript for various tasks that make life easier for your visitors (auto selecting drop-down lists, validations, etc.)

Ok..Thanks !!!

I'm learning php right now.
MySQL its no problem...I know how to handle that .
