Hi there, Thanks for making it so easy to extend DQSD - it's a fantastic little app! I searched around but I couldn't find a search for used books at abebooks.com, which is a site I use regularly. So I've coded a search myself. The best feature is that it allows the user to specify location requirements - functionality I've been wanting for years. Would anyone be interested in this search?

RE: [DQSD-Users] abebooks.com search
Nice one - wanted to check this was the appropriate place to post it. Search attached. This is the first search I've done myself so there's a few comments to remind me of things - they might be surplus to others' requirements. Also, I found that either the input fields or the document.[form] variables seemed to remain set between consecutive searches, so I included a simple clear-and-default section. If there's a better way, please let me know.
