I'm not literate enough.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Google AJAX Search API Sample</title>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=<<INSERT KEY>>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
/*
* How to do a search that returns the max number of results per page.
*/

google.load('search', '1');

function OnLoad() {

// create a search control
var searchControl = new google.search.SearchControl();

// Set the Search Control to get the most number of results
searchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.LARGE_RESULTSET);

// Create 2 searchers and add them to the control
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.WebSearch());
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.BlogSearch());

// Set the options to draw the control in tabbed mode
var drawOptions = new google.search.DrawOptions();
drawOptions.setDrawMode(google.search.SearchControl.DRAW_MODE_TABBED);

// Draw the control onto the page
searchControl.draw(document.getElementById("content"), drawOptions);

// Search!
searchControl.execute("Subaru STI");
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
</script>
</head>
<body style="font-family: Arial;border: 0 none;">
<div id="content">Loading...</div>
</body>
</html>

I tried putting the javascript in the javascript.php and converted the html to a block but when I loaded the block the site would not load. Blank screen.

Now I assumed it should be that simple but as Im not that literate ... obviously its not .... LOL Smile

Simple way to do this would be using iframes. Im also not that literate, but with iframes anything is possible.

Create a new folder, lets say Google, and save the code you posted as index1.html, next create a blank file called index.html, now create an index.php and add the following:

Code:

<?php
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
include("header.php");
$index = 0;
OpenTable();
echo"<IFRAME src=\"/modules/Google/index1.html\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\">"
. "<p>Your browser doesn't support frames. Click <a href=\"http://ThePageYourIncluding.com\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> to view the page.</p>"
. "</IFRAME>";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");

?>

So in the Google folder youll have 3 files, index.html index1.html and index.php. Now just change the settings in the above etc, dont forget your google api key in the index1...save and upload. The blank index is to prevent access to the modules dir.
