Name
<ISINDEX> — NN all IE all HTML all
Synopsis
<ISINDEX>
End Tag: Forbidden
The ISINDEX
element is a longtime holdover from
the earliest days of HTML and is deprecated in HTML 4.0 in favor of
the text INPUT element. The
ISINDEX element tag belongs in the
HEAD element. In modern browsers, it is rendered
as a simple text field between two HR elements.
When a user types text into the field and presses the Enter/Return
key, the content of the field is URL encoded (with
+ symbols substituted for spaces) and sent to the
server with the URL of the current document. A CGI program on the
server must know how to process this URL and return HTML for display
in the current window or frame.
Example
<HEAD> <ISINDEX PROMPT="Enter a search string:"> </HEAD>
