File opening

novabcfc · 12-15-2007, 01:56 AM

Hi I want to create a simple (very) form that my clients can retrieve their pdf document when I upload it to my site.

Simply put, a form that would accept their code in a text box and append it to my site url and thus opening the file.

example
client types 12345.pdf hits submit.
Page /mysite.com/folder/12345.pdf will thus open.

I can do the whole site indexing through my cms but that seems such over kill for a simple file request.
Any help would be appriciated I've been on this all (yep) day.

Cheers

hope this helps... this file/form would be placed into the /folder/ directory..

this is mainly javascript that does this..

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

window.onload=function() {
   df=document.forms[0];
   df[0].focus();
   df[1].onclick=function() {
if((isNaN(df[0].value))||(df[0].value=='')) {
   alert('enter PDF filename');
   df.reset();
   df[0].focus();
   return;
 }
location.href=df[0].value+'.pdf';
  }
 }

//-->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form action="#">
<div id="container">
<h1>enter PDF name (excl, .pdf)</h1>
<input type="text"/>
<input type="button" value="OK"/>
</div>
</form>

</body>
</html>
