Calling the IE find dialog
Is it possible to call the 'find dialog' in the same way that the print dialog can be called.

Basically i would like the find box to appear using the OnLoad event.
any help would be sweet

thanks

As far as I know, IE does not have this capability. Netscape and Mozilla do. Opera, I dunno.

Here's the doco on the NS/Moz method: http://www.devguru.com/Technologies...f/win_find.html

Just an idea - you may be able to knock up a basic little JS searcher using textrange and the indexOf() method. Google 'em if you aren't sure what they are.
