Hi!

I have this code below that let's me type in a number that goes to the requested anchor tag. All my anchor tags in my html file are numbers.

<input type="text" onchange="window.location ='#' + this.value;" />

I would like to make this a function. I tried the following but it doesn't work:

<script>
function go() {
window.location ='#' + this.value;
}
</script>

<body style="font-size: 14px;">

<input type="text" onchange="go();" />

Can anyone help me?

As I posted in the HTML forum:

With one chane:

Your function doesn't know what "this" is. As "this" would be itself.

You need to pass the reference to it like this:

Code: 
onChange="myfunction(this);"


...


And your function definition should look like this.

function myfunction(mybox){
window.location ='#' + mybox.value;

}
You may also want to rename your function as go is a Javascript function already, and it may cause problems

Phillip,
The issue seems to be the reference to THIS in the function refers to the WINDOW object - add an
Code: 
alert(this)
in FF rather than the element that is passing to the function, I've reworked your code a little and have tested in FF and the following seems to work with minimal changes :

Code: 
<html>
	<head>
		<script>
			function go(ref)
			{
				alert(ref);
			    window.location ='#' + ref;
			}
		</script>
	</head>
	<body style="font-size: 14px;">
		<input type="text" onblur="go(this.value);" />

		<a name="one">this is one</a>
	</body>
<html>

This looks like the best way to do it as per
