Adding the Search Form to your website

This section will describe the supported parameters to use in the dlSearch request. Adding the JavaScript and HTML code to your website. The following HTML code should be wrapped in a valid HTML file on your website:

At the <head> section of your HTML please add the following JavaScript lines:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
 function enterKey(evt) {
  var evt = (evt) ? evt : event
  var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode
  if (charCode == 13) {
    searchPrimo()
  }
 } 
 function searchPrimo() {
  document.getElementById("primoQuery").value = "any,contains," + 
    document.getElementById("primoQueryTemp").value;
  document.forms["searchForm"].submit();
 }
 function searchPrimoEvent(event) {
  if (event && event.which == 13) {
    document.getElementById("primoQuery").value = "any,contains," + 
      document.getElementById("primoQueryTemp").value;
    document.forms["searchForm"].submit();
  }
  else
    return true;
 }
 </script>

In the desired location on the webpage please add the following form:

  <form name="searchForm" role="search" method="get" 
   action="http://<PRIMO_URL:PORT>/primo_library/libweb/action/dlSearch.do" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8" id="simple" target="_self"  onsubmit="searchPrimo()">
   <input name="institution" value="<INSTITUTION_CODE>" type="hidden">
   <input name="vid" value="<VIEW_CODE>" type="hidden">
    <input name="search_scope" value="<SEARCH_SCOPE>" type="hidden">
   <input name="group" value="GUEST" type="hidden">
   <input name="onCampus" value="true" type="hidden">
   <input name="displayMode" value="full" type="hidden">
   <input type="hidden" id="primoQuery" name="query" />
   <input type="text" size="25" id="primoQueryTemp" value="" name="queryTemp" onkeypress="return searchPrimoEvent(event)" />
   <input id="go" type="button" value="Search" title="Search" style="background:#fff2c6; color: #8a8372; border:3px solid; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: 125px;" onclick="searchPrimo()" alt="Search">
  </form>
