Question

I don’t know how to put it exactly, so here goes.

I’ve created a search bar on my webpage that uses your input text to search another website.
This is what I’ve got (things have been censored):

<form name="search" class="form-search" method="get" action="http://www.nameofwebsite.com/search.php?">  
<input name="searchbynum" type="text" class="search-query input-large" onkeypress="return submitenter(this,event)">  
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Search</button>  
</form>  

When searching on the actual website, the search URL looks like this:

http://www.nameofwebsite.com/search.php?searchbynum=search+phrase&searchbydesc=&Submit=Go

Where “search+phrase” is what is searched. To get to the point,
What would I have to do to add the “&searchbydesc=&Submit=Go” at the end of the search?

Answer 1

Add hidden fields to your page.

<form ...>
    <div>
        <input type="hidden" name="searchbydesc" value="" />
        <input type="hidden" name="Submit" value="Go" />
    </div>
</form>

Note that your HTML as it is, is invalid. A <form> element cannot have <input /> elements as immediate children, they must be wrapped in a <div> or <fieldset> or other similar elements.
