Thanks Jeff for posting that example. In the Custom Search forum, some Custom Search Engine users have requested such functionality since last year. So I had considered posting essentially the same kind of solution that you've suggested today. But I hesitated, because I wasn't quite certain if such an implementation was permitted.
If such an implementation is permissible for use with CSEs, then I wonder why such requested functionality has never before been officially provided or documented for use with the AJAX Search API- based Custom Search Element. For years, Custom Search Engines have provided an option to host CSE results within an Iframe on a separate results-page. That implementation (which has some IMO significant known issues and limitations, discussed many times in the current and archived CSE forums) doesn't use the AJAX Search API. Given the longtime existence of that option, and the desire for a better alternative, I was disappointed to see that the AJAX Search API- based Custom Search Element (using the Custom Search Control), introduced last year, only supports (in its official implementations and documentation) a single page, not a separate results-page. So for the past few months I have been wondering why the CSE folks chose not to provide a separate results-page option for the Custom Search Element, using an implementation similar to what you have shown in your example. -- omr -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google AJAX APIs" group.
