Hello!!

I have 2 radiobuttons that decides what search engine to use (google or mine), and i have 1 button that will submit a text that will be used to be searched in one of the 2 search engines. When i try to do the google search, the first time it just opens the new window when i click the 2nd time, it opens the google window with word that i want to search and if i try to do my search it do the both searchs. What i'm doing wrong ? how i put this working in the right way?

  <table><tr>
  <td>
      <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
      <asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" OnClick="Button1_Click" UseSubmitBehavior="true"/>
  </td>
  </tr>
  <tr align="center">
  <td>
      <input id="Search1" value="one" type="radio" runat="server" name="sitesearch" />Site Name
      <input id="Search2" value="two" type="radio" runat="server" name="sitesearch" />           
      <img src="http://www.google.com/images/poweredby_transparent/poweredby_FFFFFF.gif" alt="Google" />
  </td>      
  </tr>
</table>

and then i have...

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){

        if (Search1.Checked)
        {
            //My Search
            Response.Redirect(Request.UrlReferrer.AbsolutePath +...
        }
        else if (Search2.Checked)
        {
            //Google search
            btnSearch.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=" + Regex.Replace(TextB.Text, " ", "+") + "','_blank');");
        }
    }

...and i have this...

TextBox TextB;    
HtmlInputRadioButton radioBSite;
Button btnSearch;
HtmlInputRadioButton radioBGoogle;

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnInit(e);
    TextB = (TextBox)FindControl("TextBox1");
    TextB.Text = Request["find"];
    radioBSite = (HtmlInputRadioButton)FindControl("Search1");
    radioBSite.Checked = true;
    radioBGoogle = (HtmlInputRadioButton)FindControl("Search2");

    btnSearch = (Button)FindControl("btnSearch");
    btnSearch.Click += new EventHandler(Button1_Click);
    .
    .
}

Answer 1

instead of input controls use asp:RadioButton with autopost property as true and create and assign their events at design time

Answer 2

EDIT: Updated the code to open the search window.

The following may help you. It's not performing a search, but you should be able to get the general idea. ASPX:

 <form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<div>
    <asp:TextBox ID="SearchFor" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
    <asp:RadioButton ID="RadioGoogle" runat="server" GroupName="SearchSelect" Text="Google" />
    <asp:RadioButton ID="RadioCustom" runat="server" GroupName="SearchSelect" Text="Custom" /><br />
    <asp:Button ID="Search" runat="server" onclick="Search_Click" Text="Search" />
</div>    
</form>

Codebehind:

protected void Search_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
             if (RadioGoogle.Checked)
            GoogleSearch(SearchFor.Text);
        if (RadioCustom.Checked)
            Response.Write("Search Custom for " + SearchFor.Text);
        }
private void GoogleSearch(string searchFor)
        {
            string targetURL = "http://www.google.com/search?q=" + Regex.Replace(searchFor, " ", "+");
            string clientScript = "window.open('" + targetURL + "');";
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "popup", clientScript, true);
        }

Swap the Response.Write's for a call to a method that does your search.

The problem is with this line of code:

btnSearch.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=" + Regex.Replace(TextB.Text, " ", "+") + "','_blank');");

You are adding a client side OnClick, that will open the search in a new window (the _blank target).

If you do a:

Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com/search?q=" + TextB.Text);

Things will work as you expect.
