However, using the url string http://traintimes.org.uk/%s in search.htm doesn't work terribly well, as putting, f'rinstance, london/leeds in as the search string passes http://traintimes.org.uk/london%F2leeds, and the site returns a 404 error. Anyone know how to work around that?
Right, I've sorted it by simple expedient of inserting the line
Code:
redirUrl = redirUrl.replace(%2F","\/");
before the document location replace line.
