Text Box that changes current URL

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

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?

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

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?

sorry thats my mistake, I should have told you to place the javascript in the head section of the HTML code...

It should look something like this:

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title>Title of your page here</title> <scriptlanguage="javascript"> function executeUrl() { var addy; addy = document.frmUrl.txtUrlentry.value; window.location.href = "http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com/" + addy".html"; window.location.reload(); } </script> </head>

place the javascript so its inbetween the head tags like that and it should fix your problem...

.... That all makes sense, I do it all exactly, but it still isn't working!!!! I don't get it. I have that javascript in the very top of my page, under html, head, and title. I have txtUrlentry exactly the same in both. Could it be the spaces in "addy = document....? I'll just have to work around not having a text box. Thank you for helping.

ok post the entirety of your HTML code in here that you have written (without the tripod additions) and ill see if there is anything wrong from it...

by **kame** on Wed Aug 22, 2007 12:08 am

Code: Select all: <html> <HEAD> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META http-equiv="Expires" content="0"> <META name="TRELLIX_BUILDER_VER" content="1.0"><META name="TRELLIX_OPEN_SITE_COMMAND" content="http://build.tripod.lycos.com:80/trellix/sitebuilder/SiteBuilderServlet?fUrl=/trellix/sitebuilder/f_error.html&sUrl=/trellix/sitebuilder/f_edit_page.html&Command=OpenSite&FileName=306926595275820420/site.xml"></META>  <script language="Javascript"></script><title>1</title> <scriptlanguage="javascript"> function executeUrl() { var addy; addy = document.frmUrl.txtUrlentry.value; window.location.href = "http://radiumpuzzle.tripod.com/" + addy".html"; window.location.reload(); } </script>

I'm not sure whether that is too much or too little. Later on in the script...

Code: Select all: <p align="left"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" color="ffffff"><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> </font> </p>

here's the code to do what you were asking, keeping it very simple (the >> means line wrap)

<form>
<input type="text" name="goto" Value = "http://www.">
<input type="button" VALUE="GO!">>
OnClick=location.href=goto.value;>
</form>
