HTML Form Code

Listed below is example HTML you can include on your web pages to add a search form for the GSA

   <form action="http://search.bath.ac.uk/search" method="get" name="gs"
            id="gs" onsubmit="return (this.words.value != '' &amp;&amp; this.words.value != 'search')">
        <input type="hidden" name="site" value="default_collection" />
        <input type="hidden" name="output" value="xml_no_dtd" />
        <input type="hidden" name="client" value="default_frontend" />
        <input type="hidden" name="proxystylesheet" value="default_frontend" />
        <input maxlength="255" size="14" name="q" />
        <input name="submit" type="image" id="gsgo" value="btnG"
            src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/assets/images/gobutton.gif" alt="go"/>
    </form>

Here is what the above HTML will produce:

If you require a different "go" image then replace the src attribute of the <input type="image" /> element:

       <input name="submit" type="image" id="gsgo" value="btnG"
            src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/assets/images/gobutton.gif" alt="go"/>

with the path to the correct image, for example the following:

       <input name="submit" type="image" id="gsgo" value="btnG"
            src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/assets/graphics/gobutton.gif" alt="go"/>

will display this image:

Server Side Include

Note: this include is currently designated experimental and is subject to change

If you use Server Side Includes (SSI) on your webpages you can add a search form by calling the following SSI

   <!--#include virtual="/search/gsa/ssi/search.shtml"-->

A PHP class might be made available in the future.
