Re: Form Auto Submission

Make sure that you have the Absolute URI for the ACTION parameter

Example:
<FORM ACTION="http://altavista.com/web/results/search.asp" METHOD="post"
NAME="search">
<B>Search String</B><BR>
<INPUT NAME="SearchString"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="GoSearch" VALUE="Search"> </P>
</FORM>

Make sure that the textfield name is the same as the variable that the
search engine looks at for the Search Paramters
IE. If it is looking for $Search, change SearchString to Search
