Is there a way in Internet Explorer (other than going to the edit menu then clicking find, or just pressing ctrl + f)
to get the find dialog box up.

Basically I'm looking for something that will find string values within a page.

Please help.

Cheers Matt.

Here are two examples

This one opens the find dialog box

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function PageFind()
{
window.find();
}


On the other hand this one will search the page by passing vars to the function (only works in Netscape, possibly IE5).


<script language="JavaScript1.2">

function PageFind(tString){
window.find(tString)
}
</script>
Dog<br>
Bear<br>
Cat<br>
Bird<br>
Fish<br><br>
<form>
<input type="text" name="myString">
<input type="button" onClick="PageFind(this.form.myString.value)" value="Find">
</form>
