anthonyv Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi all, wondering if you could assist me with something i know is quite simple, though i don't know the correct syntax to code it myself... I have a simple html page with a single textbox. I require that a user enters a value into the textbox (their User ID) and this will be used to create a hyperlink. So, if the user entered “anthony” into the textbox, the “go” (submit) button beside it would open the page: http://www.anthony.mydomain.com in a new browser window. If they entered “Jimmy” into the textbox, the “go” button b would open the page http://www.harry.mydomain.com in a new browser window. I kno this is real simple, but as i mentioned, I just don’t know the correct javascript syntax to read and parse the textbox values. This is a non-working example of what i think it will look like... i'd be grateful if someone could correct me (this is how i learn). <html> <head> <title>New Page 1</title> </head> <body> <script language=javascript> function getlink (form) { var thelink = form.userid.value; } </script> <form name="form" method="POST" action="javascript:getlink()"> <p align="center">Please enter your User ID to view<br> your personalised preview:<br> <input type="text" name="userid" size="20"><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="getlink" onclick="<a href="http://www.$thelink.mydomain.com"></p> </form> </body> </html> Any assistance would be much appreciated.
