ive tried the code in firefox and ie6, it works. except for firefox, the "repetitive search" not work. ive tried change access key to x (since Alt+S =History in opera) but also failed. however in ie, this thing works well.
this is the code, paste in wherever you want in <body>. if u change the form name other than form1, dont forget to change also in the onSubmit="search(document.form1, frametosearch)
