Tips & Warnings

To save time, add the html code to your GeoCities page using the Advanced Editor feature. Simply click the “Go to File Manager” button.
What file you choose to paste the html code in will determine where the Yahoo Auction Search Box will be displayed on your site. Be sure to check your page to make sure it is displayed correctly.
You can also add a Yahoo GeoCities search box. This lets your visitors search other GeoCities member pages.
Be sure to copy the entire html code as is. If you only copy part of it, the Yahoo Auction Search Box will not display correctly.
