GrandExchangeSearcher

I made a script that searches the grand exchange for items within a specific price range. You can also set it to search members or non-members items only or both. When in the Grand Exchange Database, JaGex has preset price ranges you can search within, after you do that in the URL, there's a spot you can edit to change the prices, but each time you search a new item your preset price range resets. I made this script so it'd be easier to quickly get to the page you want to be when searching items on the database. It uses a form, but I'm not very creative so I suck at designing so I know the form doesn't look spectacular, you'll get used to it :p. You need to allow access to the grand exchange database on RuneScape for this script to work, it shouldn't ask for access to anything else I don't think, but if it does just allow it.


Please give feedback on both how to improve this script, scripting-wise, and what I could add to this would be appreciated. Please give me some feedback.

Instead of popping up the GrandExchange Database.. Make it have a list box?

I'm just learning forms, I made this script for my own personal use, but thought it'd be more user-friendly and fun to remove the readln's with a form, so I don't know list boxes yet, but I'll try to learn them. Then I'll see if I get what you mean, but as of right now it seems like your suggesting to make an area where the item they searched comes up and gives the min-market-max price?


EDIT:
Master Kill's tutorial on forms makes them seem very easy, basically like everything else in the form. I'll add it, but what do you want to see specifically in the list?

EDIT: so anyone have any ideas to improve this script?


EDIT:

I been working on this script on and off. I've made some changes to it, it looks a little better. Now there isn't a very long line for Members explaining what to enter, there's just a label for it and a list with yes, no, or either. The "search" button is now set to default, so when your done entering everything you can just hit enter and it'll search, you don't need to click it, one of the new things I learned which I liked and thought was cool. The form just basically looks neater in my opinion and I also added four new buttons:
- Top-100:
- Price rises
- Price drops
- Most Traded
- Most Valuable

So it basically does everything the Grand Exchange does now, shows the top-100's and you can search for items, and it allows custom made prices :)

I hope people use this and enjoy it. And I would like some feedback to make the code more efficient and make the script better. If you can think of anything to add or find any bugs please let me know. When I feel this script is pretty nice and I can't do much more I plan on releasing it to Juniors since it's nothing too special.
