Newbie trying to control target window!

[Raj]

Hi,

My friend and I are constructing a script which deals with searching an
array and returning the results. This is the script:

function search(frm) {
win = window.open("","","scrollbars");
win.document.write(page);
txt = frm.srchval.value.split(" ");
fnd = new Array(); total=0;
for (i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
fnd = 0; order = new Array(0, 4, 2, 3);
for (j = 0; j < order.length; j++)
for (k = 0; k < txt.length; k++)
if (item[order[j]].toLowerCase().indexOf(txt[k]) > -1 && txt[k] != "")
fnd += (j+1);
}
for (i = 0; i < fnd.length; i++) {
n = 0; w = -1;
for (j = 0;j < fnd.length; j++)
if (fnd[j] > n) { n = fnd[j]; w = j; };
if (w > -1) total += show(w, win, n);
fnd[w] = 0;
}
win.document.write("</table><br>Total found: "+total+"<br></body></html>");
win.document.close();
}

Although what happens is that the results are displayed in a new window.
How can we make it only display the results in the same window that the
search form is in?

Any help would be great!

Thanks

Read the newsgroup FAQ; all of it, but 4.15 in particular.

Also, code should be indented (by a couple of spaces per level) to show
structure.


"My friend"? you have only the one friend? What is "thus.net"?

document.forms['MyForm']['MyResult'].value=total;
