Create link based on TextBox 1

[gpalmer711]

Hi all,

What I would like to do is have a text box and an image on a page, preferably not in a form.

When the image is clicked then another page loads. The page that loads would have a querystring that contains the contents of the textbox. For Example

http://www.mysite.com/mypage.aspx?search=contents-of-text-box

I'm using VB as the language on the pages.

TIA

preferably not in a form

Why?

You can't place sever controls on a page unless you use a form

Let me rephrase it.

I know that there is the initial form tag that contains the whole page as a default.

However I was not wanting to use another form simply for this if possible. It makes no major difference one way or another.

I'm just starting out with .Net and probably missing some of the obvious features.

Typically in .NET there is only one form per page. What you want to do is very simple. You can use the Clicked event of an ImageButton. Just get the value of the text box and append it to the URL string(that you create), and assign that URL to the ImageURL property of the ImageButton.

Thanks got me on the right track. Sometimes my thinking sticks with classic ASP and I forget the great features of .NET.

Glad to help. Programming in .NET does take some getting used too when you come from traditonal ASP. Just stick with it and post here when you have a problem. It will fall into place after time.
