Google Search embedded in an HTML region

Question

Hello,
I tried to embed the standard Google search engine code (see below) into an HTML region within the HTML DB app, but upon hitting "submit" I get an error because the HTML DB engine tries to process the form post, instead of allowing a redirect to Google. I toyed around with this for a bit was unable to make it work. Has anyone else had success with this?
The error is:
http://myhostname.com:4444/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept
The page cannot be found
The Google code snippet
<!-- Search Google -->
<center>
<FORM method=GET action=http://www.google.com/custom>
<TABLE bgcolor=#FFFFFF cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr valign=top><td>
<IMG SRC=http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif border=0 ALT=Google align=middle>
</td>
<td>
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=31 maxlength=255 value="">
<INPUT type=submit name=sa VALUE="Google Search">
</td></tr></TABLE>
</FORM>
</center>
<!-- Search Google -->

Hello,
Actually Marife is telling you the exact same thing I am.
You will want to put your Google code in the page template. If it's in a region or somewhere else on the page it will break. When you open up your page template you will see there will be 2 substitution tags #FORM_OPEN# and #FORM_CLOSE# somewhere in the page template HTML. Your code needs to go on the outside of those tags so that the two forms in the page do not conflict.
