Example javascript:searchControl.execute('google')

Problem to fire an event to searchControl using a link event.

<pre><a href="javascript:searchControl.execute('google');">google</a></
pre>

Firebug: searchControl is not defined

url: http://webmove.org
js: http://webmove.org/include/js/webmove.js

the script uses a function 'include(file)' to load the google api
key.
by using the input field (top right of the page) searchControl.execute
works fine.

Any ideas? Thx.dan.

Your searchControl is in the scope of OnLoad, it is not in the global scope.  When your anchor tag gets clicked, it will be looking for searchControl in the global scope.  Try changing these lines:

function OnLoad() {
   var controlRoot = document.getElementById("searchResults");
   // Create a search control
   var searchControl = new GSearchControl();

to this:

var searchControl;
functionOnLoad(){
  var controlRoot = document.getElementById("searchResults");
   // Create a search control
   searchControl = new GSearchControl();


It should work then.

Good luck,
Ben
