Submit Form

[seco]

This might be simple, im not sure but im havin a problem with it.....

Basically, i need 1 input and a button. input being what im searching for and &near=riddle, oregon being where i live.

<form action="http://maps.google.com/maps?" target="_blank" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="q=">
    <input name="&near=riddle, oregon" type="submit">
</form>

the input will show in the new page address bar as:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q%3D=pets&%26near%3Driddle%2C+oregon=Submit+Query

"pets" being what i type in the input.

the red bold characters are messing it up.... how would i go about making those red bold characters not show up, would this be php or somthing else? any ideas? ive looked all over, i just dont know what this would be called.

Thanks

this is to goto that place it works for me.in
say you put pizza in the text box it will display pizza shops near riddle, oregon

<form action="http://maps.google.com/maps?" target="_blank" method="get"> <input type="text"  value="" name="q">   <input value="&near=riddle, oregon" name="q" type="submit"> </form>

I don't know anything about google map api but this is the correct format of submit form:

<form action="http://maps.google.com/maps" target="_blank" method="get">  <input type="text" name="q" value="pets">
<input type="text" name="near" value="riddle, oregon">
<input type="submit" value="Search"> </form>

If you don't want the red characters to show up change the method="get" to method="post".

hope it helps!
