is there any way for this xcode project to be correct? heres the zipped file of the project http://wschamps04.com/Simple Search.zip
There are a lot of problems with your project. In your NIB, you haven’t enabled the clicked handler properly for the button, your object names don’t match the references in your script, and you should probably be using a popup button for the search type, not a combo box. In the script itself, besides not having the names of the objects match, you don’t get the contents of an object by using “result”; for a text field, use “contents” or “string value”; for a popup button use “title”. You also need to encode your search URL so that it properly escapes spaces and other entities. There are a few other things but it’d be easiest just to show you in the project itself:
