<script language="javascript">

var host = "http://www.somehost.com/cgi-bin/somecatalog/scan/";

function scanUrl(form) {
	if ((form.textfield.value == "" || form.textfield.value == null) &&
(form.select.selectedIndex == 0)) {
		alert("Please enter something to search or select a category to search");
	} else {
		if (form.select.selectedIndex != 0) {
			var i = form.select.selectedIndex;
			var sText = escape(form.select.options[i].value);
			escText = escape(form.textfield.value);
			var str = host + "co=yes/sf=category/se=" + sText;
			str += "/sf=description/se=" + escText + "/tf=description/to=f/su=yes";
			str += "/fn=code,description,price,message,category/ml=10";
		} else {
			escText = escape(form.textfield.value);
			var str = host + "co=yes/sf=category/se=";
			str += "/sf=description/se=" + escText;

str+="/tf=category/tf=description/su=yes/fn=code,description,price,message,c
