Help me with simple text box...

[symbiosis]

I am trying to insert a text box to perform a simple function. Whatever text is inserted into the box, I want the box to cause that word + .htm to open that page in my domain.
www.ashevillecabinets.com/clients.htm

Example: if the client enters "smith" in the box, I want a new window to open at location "/smith.htm"

Anyone?

Hope this basic example helps:

Code: Select all

<input type="text" id="url"><input type="button" value="Send" onclick="location.href=document.getElementById('url').value+'.htm'">

Saving it as .html or .html makes no difference, not unless I miss something else

According to XHTML standards i read somewhere your pose to save it as html. i know it probably wouldnt make a difference but you never know.

Could you show me a sample page where html extension differs that of htm.

...or you mean something else which I'm unaware?

In XHTML standards, the only thing that is vital on a page (and that is for validtion), is that you should close all your tags, which includes self-closed to the tags which does'nt have a closing tag. Example would be img, br, hr . In XHTML, name is deprecated.

Other then the obvious, the letter "L," there's not much of a difference between the two extensions

I tried to add the target tag. "_blank" but the page doesn't respond to it.
I changed the tag to .pdf as I am loading the customer images and specs as a pdf binder (kovalchuk is an example password). I would prefer this to open in a new window so as not to lose my client if they should accidentally "x" out of the page.

Thanks
