copied!<p>Getting OSD (OpenSearchDescription) work under Google Chrome or IE7 / IE8 isn't as difficult as mentioned or that these browsers don't support POST requests.</p> <p>With a little bit of tweaking, I found a workaround to the entire problem.</p> <p>My initial code:</p> <pre><code><Url type="text/html" method="POST" template="http://MySite.com/query.php"> <Param name="sString" value="{searchTerms}"/> </Url> </code></pre> <p>This code points directly to the query page and passes the value for the sString attribute on my POST request. </p> <p>That works perfectly on FireFox but doesn't quite work well on IE7/IE8 or Google Chrome (I didn't test with Opera or Safari yet..).</p> <hr> <p>Altering the code to the following piece:</p> <pre><code><Url type="text/html" template="http://MySite.com/query.php?sString={searchTerms}"></Url> </code></pre> <ul> <li>Removing <strong>method="POST"</strong> from the element</li> <li>Replacing <strong><em>/query.php</em></strong> with the actual page call: <strong><em>/query.php?sString={searchTerms}</em></strong></li> <li>Removing the now unnecessary "<code><Param name="sString" value="{searchTerms}"/></code>"</li> </ul> <p>Resolved my problem of incompatibility with those browsers.</p> <p>All calls are directly headed to the query page and even it initially was a POST request, it now work on both IE7/IE8 and Google Chrome.</p> <p>Thanks again adrianbanks for providing me with your xml file which led to the solution!</p>
