Text Box that changes current URL

[DDragon]

ok so you have a webhost. what is the address of your site? ill be able to take a look at it then

[kame]

http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com

[DDragon]

when you edit your site do you use an FTP program like FileZilla, or do you use the tripod file manager page?

[kame]

Either the tripod file manager page, or the way where you just click an edit button and it lets you type something right onto the page.

I took a look at your pages code and as far as i can tell there is not form, without the form the perl script wont work place the text box in the form i made for you and then try it...

Edit: i was looking through my own archive of scripts and such and found one that you might benifit from.. its a piece of JavaScript that i wrote ages ago ill post it for you when i relocate it

[kame]

My friends who are good at programming kept telling me to use javascript, but it seemed like this would work just the same

[DDragon]

well the perl does worl ive used it myself for personal pages and such... its just a bugga to set up the javascript is easyer as far as placement goes as i said ill post the script to you when i find it again

Edit: I have found the script just now... if you want some help in inserting the script in ill be glad to help you there

Here is the script:

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript">

   function executeUrl()
      {
         var addy;

         addy = document.frmUrl.txtUrlentry.value;

         alert(addy + " is the current value");

         window.location.href = "http://www." + addy;
         window.location.reload();
      }

</script>


and here is an example of the form to make:

Code: Select all

<form name="frmUrl">
   Enter the URL of the page to go to:<br>http://<input name="txtUrlentry" type="text"><br><br>

   <input type="submit" name="btnUrlEntry" onclick="executeUrl()" value="Go!">
            
</form></center>

Thanks again!

I am going to just copy and paste what I have in my box right now...

Code: Select all

<form name="frmUrl">
   Your Guess:<br><input name="txtUrlentry" type="text"><br><br>

   <input type="submit" name="btnUrlEntry" onclick="executeUrl()" value="Try It!">
           
</form></center>

<script language="javascript">

   function executeUrl()
      {
         var addy;

         addy = document.frmUrl.txtUrlentry.value;

         window.location.href = "http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com/" + addy".html";
         window.location.reload();
      }

</script>

When I type in "test," this is the new url:

http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com/1.html?t ... =Try+It%21
Am I not supposed to copy directly what your code was, or are there things that I need to change?

[DDragon]

ok i found it... you need to change this line

Code: Select all

window.location.href = "http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com/" + addy".html";

to look like this:

Code: Select all

window.location.href = "http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com/" + addy + ".html";

that should fix it

[kame]

http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com/1.html?t ... =Try+It%21

I am still getting that address. Do I need to put the javascript somewhere else?
