Re: Search form Post/Get


Yes, just use a normal search URL and use with-fillout-form,
accept-input, etc, within the response function for that URL.

   Is it possible to have a computed response form generated as a search,
   something like:

   (export-url #u"form?"
      :search-html-computed-form
      :form-function #'form-function
      :response-function #'response-function
      ...)

   where form-function generates a form based on the parameters passed
   after the form? part of the url.  Then, response-function respond's
   to the query.  This allows complex forms to be generated based on
   the response to a (simple) form.  They can be called up repeatedly,
   without having to resubmit the first form.

   I haven't seen anything that would prohibit this, except that it doesn't
   work if I just try it with html-computed-form.

   Thanks,
