my url is: http://bathtab.co.uk/
at the moment, the search results title tag is always: The UK Property Search Engine
what i want is to make it dynamic, so when you search for london, it'll display in the title the place as well as property type and either rent/buy.
thanks!
some source code:

<form action="http://bathtab.co.uk/search.php" method="get">
<table align="center" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:arial; border:0px solid #888; padding:3px">
<tr>
<td><select name="listing_type">
<option value="buy" selected>For Sale</option>
<option value="rent">To Rent</option>
</select></td>
<td><input name="place_name" value="" size="25"></td>

<td><select name="property_type">
<option value="all">House or Flat</option>
<option value="flat">Flat</option>
<option value="house">House</option>
</select></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Search"></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td colspan="2" align='left' style='font-size:10px; color:#888'>Location e.g. Bath</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Nothing in the code you have posted will help.

Capture the search terms server side, which you MUST do to search with, and write them into the title element

results are displayed in a frame, we do not use a database but pull results:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<script type="text/javascript">
  function bounce(){
      parent.nestframe.window.location.href 
          = "http://cb.nestoria.co.uk/cgi/search" 
          + window.location.search;
      return 1;
  }
</script>
</head>
<frameset rows="124,*" onload='javascript:bounce();'>
<frame noresize="noresize" frameborder="0" src="header.php">
<frame noresize="noresize" frameborder="0" src="footer.php" name='nestframe'>
</frameset>

i've tried <?php echo ucwords(str_replace(array('<','>'), '', urldecode($_GET['place_name']))); ?> but it doesn't work

You will have to use javascript.

parent.document.getElelementsByTagName("title").innerHTML = "Text to put in title";

thanks, that works great for the title tag, but not when i implemnt the code in the content. please assist.

frameName.document.getElementById("contentholder").innerHTML = "Whatever you want it to say";

replace "frameName" and "contentholder" with appropriate element names

i can't get it to work. what will i need to use to call the details from the javascript

absolutely no idea.

We have no idea how you collect the search details or how you send them to the remote site.

i followed the instructions here: http://www.nestoria.co.uk/help/cobrand-howto

So despite this being the PHP forum there is no PHP used at all.

To be brutally honest (not that I am ever anything else) I would suggest that implementing a querystring parser in javascript would be somewhat beyond your experience, unless of course you know how to prototype new objects and methods in js.

So we are back to post no 2 and you code some PHP $_GET statement to retrieve the key/value pairs and display them in the frameset page and in the header page.

ok thanks, i'll make a post over at coding instead. cheers.
please lock and remove this thread.
