I'm trying to write a script that basically submits data to different search engines. However, the query variable name is different for each search engine.

Rather than put all of the possibilities in my form, I'd rather create the variable on-the-fly based on which seach engine is selected.

How can I create form variables from within javascript? I know how to set a form variable value, action, method, etc. Just not create the variables.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.

If it's a PHP-script you can dynamically create the variables in the script and then use CURL to POST it.

You would want to use "appendChild(myinput);" - addChild() is not a valid method.
