Question on searching

 [1/4] from: chris:softsteele at: 7-Nov-2000 21:07


Is there a way to enter information into a web page using rebol for example to; Select from a select list on a web page enter your name and select a go button to generate a search. For example if you wanted to automate a query function to a specific web site. Thanks Chris Steele

example to; Select from a select list on a web page enter your name and select a go button to generate a search. For example if you wanted to automate a query function to a specific web site. Usually you can so this by requesting a search url from the site. Like this:
>> print read join http://www.google.com/search ["?q=" ask "Search for: "]
Search for: rebol <html> <head><META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Google Search: rebol </title> <style><!-- body {font-family: arial,sans-serif;} div.nav {margin-top: 1ex;} <snip!> Which finds this results of looking for Rebol through Google like this direct link: http://www.google.com/search?q=rebol I hope that helps!

For Forms that require POST for submission. Use read with the custom refinement. print read/custom http://babelfish.altavista.com/translate.dyn reduce ['POST {text=REBOL+Rules&lp=en_fr}] Cheers, Allen K
