Javascript keyword search description - what does this do?

jerry101

hi,

i stumbled accross a piece of coding in the between the <head> tags where you normally put your keywords etc and one website i saw had this piece of javascript there.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- 

//Keyword search function

        function searchfocus() {

            searchform.Query.focus();

}

//Compute search function

    function computesearch() {

        var pathValue = "/websites/UK/uk.nsf/SearchResults/?SearchView&Query=";

        var queryValue = document.searchform.Query.value;

        location = pathValue + queryValue;

}
 
function windowOpener(url, name, args) {

if (typeof(popupWin) != "object"){

popupWin = window.open(url,name,args);

} else {

if (!popupWin.closed){ 

popupWin.location.href = url;

} else {

popupWin = window.open(url, name,args);

}

}

popupWin.focus();

}

// -->

</script>

Can anyone let me know what this is actually doing please?

Thanks

You're probably asking about this piece of code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 //Compute search function

    function computesearch() {

        var pathValue = "/websites/UK/uk.nsf/SearchResults/?SearchView&Query=";

        var queryValue = document.searchform.Query.value;

        location = pathValue + queryValue;

}

It opens/redirects to a search results page for the query value entered in the "Query" input text box.
