jsam

ok, so i know i'm pathetic at javascript... could you use the "google" example such that if a person entered "google" into the form and hit "submit," google would enter in the same window. i can't seem to get this to work for me, but i'm sure it's just my scripting shortcoming.

i tried to use document.location (and document.location.href) and neither seems to do what i want it to (in fact, both just sit there). i'm still searching around the forum to find where they said how to use window.open and opt to not open a new window... any more help?

i'm getting input from people and taking them to a webpage, but the only way i know to do this is with window.open. i want to have the same functionality but instead of a new window, i want the page to load in the same window instead of openning a new one. an example would be: [code] function submital() { x = ""; x = document.ans.text.value; x = x.toLowerCase(); window.open(x + '.htm'); } [/code] this obviously opens a new page. i want the same functionality (i.e., be able to get info from my form and use that in the "submital" function), but without the new window. thanks for any help.
