Hello everybody!
At first, i want to say that i am new around here, and i am a novice.
I saw some html code in one of David Malan's course and it goes like this :

<html>
<head>
<title>My Google Search</title>
<body>
<form action="[google.com];
<input name="q" type="text" />
<br />
<input type="button" value="My Google Search" />
</form>
</body>
</head>
</html>

I have currently installed wamp server and all his features(apache, php, mysql), and i put it online even.
According to this html code, when i open my firefox browser and open my html through wamp server, when i type something in the text filed,and push "my google search" button i get no response...nothing happens...why is that??? Do i missing some settings in Wamp server??

In the example i saw, if u fill the textbox with some text, and push the button, it shoud appear the result find in google itself. The possibile link between the wapm server and [google.com] does not exits? I think is somenthin about host...hosting, but i am not sure...

PLease help me understand ....

Thend u for patience...

Hi Bogdan,

This is not really a site for HTML coding help but ...

You problem is that you are using an <input type="button" ....> this requires some javascript to complete an action.

If you change your button definition to

<html>
<head>
   <title>My Google Search</title>
</head>
<body>
  <form action="[google.com"]; >
    <input name="q" type="text" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="My Google Search" />
  </form>
</body>
</html>

It will launch you into the google search data entry page

If you then change it to this, it will issue the search to google and present the results of the search

<html>
<head>
   <title>My Google Search</title>
</head>
<body>
  <form action="[google.com]; >
    <input name="q" type="text" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="My Google Search" />
  </form>
</body>
</html>
