Curtis Autery's Remote Control Search Engine Interface.

There are a number of items like this on the web, all of them
copyrighted with huge disclaimers about legal rights. This
will be probably the first public-domain interface for this
type of function. I only ask that you leave the top "note"
comments in tact when copying this file, or editing it. Perhaps
you can add an additional comment stating the original file
has been modified.

This is meant to show some examples of JavaScript technique to
people who already "program" in JavaScript.

To use this, open rc.htm in a web browser that supports true
JavaScript.

I recommend using Netscape 3.0 with this. Communicator seems to
eat more resources than a "quick" interface like this needs,
Netscape 2.x won't work with this as I use some JavaScript code
first implemented in 3.0. No version of Internet Explorer (not
even 4.0) will work with this at all - You will get an immediate
JavaScript error and a black web browser.

The interface should be self-explanatory. I used some "always
on top" code that I created, and it is a little funny sometimes.
Occasionally the "Hide" button will seem to have a rapidly
blinking dotted line on it, and sometimes the "always on top"
functionality disappears. When either of these circumstances
occur, click anywhere in the black area of the remote control
window and the problem disappears. (Any code fixes or
suggestions for that will be welcome and appreciated).

If you have any comments, suggestions, (job offers <g>), etc.,
send them to 70003,7717 or from the Internet
70003.7717@compuserve.com

Enjoy!
Curtis

p.s. - Some search engine addresses or search formats will
inevitably change, but this script is compatible with  all 9
search engines as of the creation date - June 24, 1997
