Using an input field and a get button I am try to link to an htm document based on the input (passcode) of the user.

Example: Various users have only one passcode assigned to them. Each passcode (approx 30 in total) will only link to a pre designated page.

I have tried using and input filed an a get button and I can't seem to pass the inputted data to the action of the button.

any clues out there?

Thanks

is your text box and button surrounded by a form?

E.G.:

Code: 
<form action=processingpage.xxx method=GET>
<input type=text name=passcode>
<input type=submit value="Send" name="submit">
</form>

Yes.
Here is a copy of the code.

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="text" name="textfield">
</form>
</body>

<form name="form1" method="get" action="">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="text" name="textfield">
</form>
</body>

Give the form an action, like the name of the script that's supposed to get the passcode and pull de document for that passcode.

If its in the same page, then just put that in the action.
Code: 
<form name="form1" method="get" action="[red]myprocessingpage.html[/red]">

I can not hard code the html page because it will be different for each different passcode.

I am thinking that the passcode needs to be entered into the input field (the passcode would be the actual name of the htm page. I.E. passcode is "CLFCCFBL" the htm page will be "CLFCCFBL.HTM") Each passcode is unique to each htm. I have 30 different passcodes with 30 different htm document.

Thanks

Then, then you'll need to have javascript change the action on the fly to the entered passcode. something like this should work:

Code: 
<form name="form1" method="get" action=""  OnSubmit="form1.action=form1.textfield.value + '.htm'; return true;">
