Go To Address in Text Box Button

antdickens · Jul 23, 2003

Hi,

I've been trying somewhat unsuccesfully to create a button which opens a new browser window which goes to the address within a text box on the page.

Could anyone give me any pointers

TIA

I don't know if I got you right, but this is what I think you want to have:

file 'a.html' with a button that will call another page:

Code:

<html>

<body>

<form action=&quot;b.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>

</body>

</html>

file 'b.html' with text field:

Code:

<html>

<body>

<form>
<input type=&quot;text&quot;>
</form>

</body>

</html>

Is that all, or did you want to parse some information from side a to b?

Cheers

oh... I guess I got you wrong.... try this one:

Code:

<html>

<head>
<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function GoToURL() {
  
var URLis;
 URLis = document.myForm.Dest.value
  
   if (URLis == &quot;&quot; || URLis.length <= 8)
   { 
     alert('\nOops!\n\nYou must enter a valid URL');
   } 
   else
   {
     this.location.href = URLis;
   }
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; value=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com&quot;[/URL] name=&quot;Dest&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;go to url&quot; onClick=&quot;GoToURL()&quot;>
</form>

</body>

</html>
