stndsrcp.hts
Standard search form. Displays multi-line text box for the query and check boxes that allow you to specify which collections are to be searched.
stndrslp.hts
Standard results list. Displays score and title on one line, followed by the document size, last modified date, URL, and the first 160 characters in the document.
stndviep.hts

Standard Search Form

The Standard search form template, stndsrcp.hts, provides a multiline query text box, and checkboxes for the collections available to the search.

Following is the HTML form and SEARCHScript source for stndsrcp.hts. It is only a portion of stndsrcp.hts and is out of context from the whole file which is required for processing.

Standard Results Template

 The Standard results template, stndrslp.hts, displays the document hits with a score and title on one line, followed by the document's URL and a brief excerpt. For more information on navigation links, including source, see "Navigation Links" above.

Following is some of the HTML and SEARCHScript source for stndrslp.hts. It is only a portion of stndrslp.hts and is out of context from the whole file which is required for processing.

Standard Viewer Template

The Standard viewer template, stndviep.hts, displays the full body of a document and provides navigation links.

The document view templates are identical in how they work, basically only differing in the text string declaring to which theme they belong. These templates, smplviep.hts, stndviep.hts, pwerviep.hts, advsviep.hts, and allviep.hts, have been separated by file name to make it easier for you to customize and maintain them by theme.

The basic building block, used in all the document view templates, for displaying the full body of a document is:



<BR>

<% HTMLBodyPrint %>

<BR>
The rest of the template is composed of HTML for formatting the look of the page, and SEARCHScript navigation links for returning to the results list and viewing the next or previous document. For more information on navigation links, including source, see "Navigation Links" above.

For more information on customizing the document view template, see the SEARCHScript Reference Guide.
