Is it possible to use a button to invoke find. That is have the same effect as pressing CTRL/F.

example:

<html><body>
<button onClick='?????'>Find</button>
</body></html>

Mike Hall has solved this for NS and IE and has made it available as a cut-and-paste

Many thanks posterdot, Just what I need.

As a matter of interest, however, can anyone think of a way to simulate a user keyboard event such as Ctrl+F
