So when you run your search on the site, you use a GET submitted form? What are the dynamic parts of the page? Can you post a full url instead of: http://www.thevideospy.com/index/nok...levant%7D.html

Just wondering what variables you have.

if you were searching nokia you get this url
http://www.thevideospy.com/index/nokia%7B1%7D%7BmostRelevant%7D.html

So you have a GET form with 2 variables: Word (eg. Nokia) and search type (eg. Most Relavent)?

I used this but tried to make .htaccess in my directory but it said on my mac that the files beggining with. are reserved for system, anyone know how to fix this?

thanks

Heya, OJ.

If you use a text editor such as BBEdit or Coda, you can view and edit files whose name begins with a '.'.

Alternatively, you could create a file named 'htaccess' (no leading dot) and then rename it using the Terminal:

mv /path/to/htaccess /new/path/to/.htaccess
