JS Redirect on Input

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 19.2004

I am trying to make it so that whenever someone types a word or series of numbers into a textbox, that word shows up as an appendage to a URL. For example if someone types “joey123” then when they clicked on Submit it redirects them to [url]http://www.website.com/joey123.[/url] I have looked all over and I can’t seem to find anything. Just a little rusty I guess.

THANKS!

function insertName()

{

insert = document.myForm.name.value;

submitOK = "True";

document.write("http://www.website.com/" + insert);

return false;

}

</script>

<form name="myForm" onsubmit="return insertName()">

<input type="text" name="name" size="10">

</form>


Try this see if it is works.^^

@ammonlovellauthorNov 24.2004 — Okay well at least that was closer than I got, but it still didn't work. This code just reloads the same page but puts a document.write of the address. I need it to be a link that when they click on submit, it automatically loads the URL. Thanks though. Anymore ideas? The link, if you want to see is http://www.empowernet.com/newsite/order.html

Thanks!

document.location.href = document.location.href +"/"+ insert;

@ammonlovellauthorNov 24.2004 — Alright! One step closer, but it still isn't quite right. If you visit the page again (http://www.empowernet.com/newsite/order.html) you'll see it just appends the submission on the current webpage. I need it to append on a completely different URL. I assume the problem is with

document.location.href = document.location.href +"/"+ insert;

but I can't get it to change locatons. How would I do this?

THANKS!!!

document.location.href = document.location.href +"/"+ insert;

to

document.location.href = "http://newURL/"+ insert;
