Thank you very much for your help. I understand that there are some other
parameters available concerning the two different forms on the page. I have
tried to offer different combinations of paramters but I don't understand
the logic how to prevent the first form to capture the submit parameter
(they both have exactly same submit parameter).
Is it really a correct approach to define all possible parameters for both
forms? How should I define the parameters of the first form so that they
would not be taken into consideration? I have tried null and "" with no
success. Is there any command that can force only the parameters of the
second form to be activated? I am very thankful if you can clarify for me
the logic.
I am going to use "Wikipedia what links here" page that provides to search
boxes. I would like to send ONLY the second form of these to that appear on
the page:
<form action="/wiki/Special:Search" id="searchform"><div>
<input id="searchInput" name="search" type="text" title="Search Wikipedia
[f]" accesskey="f" value="" />
<input type='submit' name="go" class="searchButton" id="searchGoButton"
value="Go" title="Go to a page with this exact name if one exists" />
<input type='submit' name="fulltext" class="searchButton"
id="mw-searchButton" value="Search" title="Search Wikipedia for this text"
/>
</div></form>
<form action="/w/index.php"><input name="title" type="hidden"
value="Special:WhatLinksHere" /><input name="limit" type="hidden"
value="500" /><input name="hideredirs" type="hidden" value="1" /><input
name="hidetrans" type="hidden" value="1" /><fieldset>
<legend>What links here</legend>
<label for="mw-whatlinkshere-target">Page:</label> <input name="target"
size="40" value="Eno" id="mw-whatlinkshere-target" /> <label
for="namespace">Namespace:</label> <select id="namespace"
name="namespace" class="namespaceselector">
<option value="" selected="selected">all</option>
<option value="0">(Article)</option>
<option value="1">Talk</option>
<option value="2">User</option>
</select><input type="submit" value="Go" /></fieldset></form>
Please if you just can provide me a small example of the parameter
definitions that I should use.
Thank you very much!
