Why couldn't you just write a javascript that changes
the <form action=""> parameter if searchA is checked
rather than searchB...then submits the form?
ie - <form action="/htdig" onSubmit="checkSearch();">
the javascript checkSearch() function would test which
radio button was checked, and then dynamically change
the "action" attribute to the correct search url.
