    Hi All,
    Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not. If not; sorry.
    I'm not really a developer perse, but I want to write a webpage to use as a start page for my Bold. Does anyone know what the code would be to make a google search box appear at the top of the page? Is the generic start page on the BB hosted somewhere with an address? I could look at that as a guide, too.

    Thanks for any help!

    Actually, I found it. Here it is in case anyone else comes looking...


    <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/custom" target="_top">
    <table border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="417">
    <tr>
    <td nowrap valign="top" align="left" height="32"> <a href="http://www.google.com/">
    <img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_25wht.gif" border="0" alt="Google" align="middle"></a>
    </td>
    <td nowrap>
    <input type="text" name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="">
    <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search">
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>

    The start page on the BB browser is part of the app, it's not a webpage.

    Oh if that's all you want, you don't need all that...

    <form action="http://www.google.com/custom">
    <input style="padding-left:2px;border:1px solid;width:15em;" type="text" name="q" maxlength="255" value="">
    </form>

    you can change 15em to 200px or whatever size you want the search box to be.

    Thanks all!
    I was able to grab it off another page and chenge to html around a little to work on my page (B Links )

    Now I'd like to add an address box at the top of it, so I can type in a webaddress and click GO and go to it. Any idea how to accomplish this?

    Thanks!

    Well if your site supports PHP or some other scripting language you can do it that way, if you have javascript turned on that's another approach, but it depends what your site supports, as that's the easiest to deal with.

    OK, Thanks. Not worth the hassle. I can type the address into the google box and then choose the link from the result. An easy enough work around.

    Later,
