No, I'm talking about streetmap.co.uk. You can still use the old
format page layout. I have a form on my local home page like this
(I've taken out the formatting):

<form action="http://www.streetmap.co.uk/oldsearch.srf?"
name="f" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="oldmap" name="mapp">
<input type="hidden" value="oldsearch" name="searchp">
<input type="text" size="36" name="name">
<input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="Streetmap" NAME="Submit1">

<input id="Radio2" type="radio" CHECKED value="PostCode"
name="type">Post Code
<input id="Radio3" type="radio" value="PlaceName"
name="type">GB Place
<input id="Radio1" type="radio" value="UKStreet"
name="type">UK Street
<input id="Radio8" type="radio" value="LondonStreet"
name="type">London Street
<input id="Radio4" type="radio" value="OSGrid"
name="type">OS grid (x,y)
<input id="Radio5" type="radio" value="LRGrid"
name="type">Landranger
<input id="Radio6" type="radio" value="LatLong"
name="type">Lat/Long
<input id="Radio7" type="radio" value="Telephone"
name="type">Tel Code
</form>

Clearly the search goes to oldsearch.srf but the map comes back as
oldmap.srf with a few arguments.

Sorry if this is getting off-topic.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
