i added a javascript search to my site
Search

basically i wanted to have links on there so that when u click the link it runs the search. instead of making ppl type it into the textarea and clicking go.

or have it so when u click the link it enters text into the text area and then searchs...

let us say your java script function is called myfunction().

Then in your link (a tag) instead of href, specify onclick attribute.

Ex:

<A href="" onclick="javascript:myfunction()">link text</a>

If you're talking about the input/textarea dynamically autocompleting as people type a few letters, then you need to look into AJAX.
