I knew that i am too late for this answer, but i hope this will help to other who are facing and who will face.

As you have written h_url is global var like var = h_url; so you can use that variable anywhere in your file.

• h_url=document.getElementById("u").value; Here h_url contain value of your search box text value whatever user has typed.

• document.getElementById("u"); This is the identifier of your form field with some specific ID.

• Your Search Field without id

• Alter Search Field with id

• When you click on submit that will try to fetch value from document.getElementById("u").value; which is syntactically right but you haven't define id so that will return null.

• So, Just make sure while you use form fields first define that ID and do other task letter.

I hope this helps you and never get Cannot set property 'value' of null Error.
