A wierd script I need.

[AirGuitar]

Hi, I was wondering if theres a way that I can get a script where the viwer of my site can enter the last section of a URL into a form, hit go, and...go to it :)

E.G

somebody enters bobby into the text box, and hit's go: It will take them to www.mysite.com/bobby

somebody enters chipfry.html : takes them to www.mysite.com/chipfry.html

Help would be greatly appriciated

<form action="javascript://" onsubmit="location.href = location.protocol + '//' + location.hostname + '/' + this.elements[0].value; return false;">
<input type="text" value="index.html"/><input type="submit"/>
</form>


Would be more accessible to use a PHP script or something server-side, but this suffices for client-side.

I'll try that, but If I can get a php, that's great.

Edit: I tried it, it's alng the lines of what I need, but not quiet.

I need it to go to a different server.com/whateva not the CURRENT ONE.


at the moment it goes to www.free.hostultra.com/inputedword

I need it to go to www.myotherwebhost.com/inputedword

Php, SSI, anythin is fine.

Replace the "location.hostname" in the script with the appropriate hostname literal.

Show the code you're using. We know what we intended but without seeing what you're actually running...

Does your code look like this?

<form action="javascript://" onsubmit="location.href='http://www.myotherwebhost.com/' + this.elements[0].value; return false;">
<input type="text" value="index.html" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
