Hello,
Please can someone save me from insanity? I have been trying for days to figure out a way to do something that’s probably very simple to an expert.
I want to take text (e.g. a part number) from user input (on a form) and put it into a URL so when the user clicks ‘go’ he goes to the appropriate page. In essence I want to do something like this:
<INPUT NAME=”part” size=20>
<A HREF=” ‘
So if the user enters part number 12345 on the form he goes to [url]http://www.mysite.com/partno-12345.htm
Is it possible? If so how do I do it?
This works in getting [url]http://www.mysite.com/partno-12345.htm
<HTML><HEAD>
<script language=”JavaScript”>
function formHandler() {
var URL = ‘
alert(URL); }
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form name=”myform”>
<p>Please enter part number here:<br />
<INPUT NAME=”part” size=20 onChange=”formHandler()”><br />
<INPUT TYPE=”submit” value=”GO”>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
BUT when [B]alert(URL);[B]location.href(URL);
