Putting THOMAS on Your Site

If you'd like to place a THOMAS search box on your website, like this:

Search Bill Summary & Status in the 112th Congress on THOMAS

Copy this code and insert it where you would like the search box to appear:

<h3>Search Bill Summary & Status in the 112th Congress on THOMAS</h3><form name="thomas" method="post" action="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/thomas"><input class="radio" type="radio" name="querytype" checked="checked" value="phrase" id="word" /><label for="word">Word/Phrase</label> <input class="radio" type="radio" name="querytype" id="num" value="billno" /><label for="num">Bill Number</label><br /><br /><input type="hidden" name="searchpage" value="simplebillsresolutions" /><input type="hidden" name="database" value="summary" id="summary" /><input name="MaxDocs" type="hidden" value="1000" /><input name="Stemming" type="hidden" value="Yes" id="srch_type" /><input type="hidden" name="srch" value="/home/LegislativeData.php" /><input type="hidden" name="congress" value="112" /><input name="query" maxlength="1000" size="20" id="query" /> <input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="SEARCH" /></form>

Note: You will need to update the code in January 2013 (or whenever there's a new Congress) by changing 112 to 113 in two places.
