Hi All,

Was wondering if anyone knows of a script or way to have data entered into a text box added to an html string and return the result in a popup or the same page.

I.E.

http://webmastertalk.com/images/(fill from text box).jpg

In the text box users could enter " 54321 "

and upon clicking a button the html link would change to:

http://webmastertalk.com/images/54321.jpg

and open the html link in a different window.

Seems like a simple script, just want to see if anyone has done anything or seen anything like this to save me time. Thanks.

Like this?:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
		<title>Untitled Page</title>
		<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function goURL() {
	myText = document.getElementById("theText").value;
	window.open('http://www.theurl.com/' + myText + ".jpg");	 
}
//-->
</script>
	</head>

	<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
		<p><input type="text" id="theText" size="24"><input type="submit" name="submitButtonName" onclick="goURL();"></p>
	</body>

</html>

I tried this script, but I couldnt get it to work.

I am using this url string in the script:

<script type="text/javascript">
</script>

I am entering: 10249900 in the search query which should search for the following url
http://www.artframedirect.com/images...e/10249900.jpg
which is valid and would return the resulting image.

Please advise. Thanks.

does the window not pop up? or does it pop up and not return the url? Using your code and numbner it works for me on Safari, Firefox and IE for mac...
