Form Redirect to open specified page

Von Aras

Hi all,

I have a small classifieds site and I use the following script to open the
specific ads in a FRAME - "Enter Ad Number".

I have since done away with the frames and the script now has problems.

What I want to do is change it so that it will open in the current window -
and not a FRAME.

Is there a quick fix for this?

<script language="JavaS cript">

function AdJump()
{
var vPage;
vPage = document.adjump .adnum.value;
vPage = http://www.anypage.com/photoads/ads + vPage + ".html";
document.open() ;
document.locati on.href = vPage;
document.close( );

}

</script>
<CENTER>
<FORM NAME="adjump" OnSubmit="AdJum p()">
<TABLE WIDTH=100% CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
<TR><TD WIDTH=10%>   </TD>
<TD WIDTH=90% align="center">
<INPUT TYPE="Text" SIZE=3 VALUE="" NAME="adnum"><B R>
Enter Ad Number</FONT>
</TD></TR>
<TR><TD WIDTH=10%>   </TD>
<TD WIDTH=90% align="center">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Submit">
<INPUT TYPE="Reset" VALUE="Reset">
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
</CENTER>

What does "... now has problems" mean?

What you have works for me but I'd change it slightly; watch for word-wrap.

<script type="text/javascript">
function AdJump()
{
var aPage = "http://www.anypage.com/photoads/ads";
var vPage = document.adjump .adnum.value;
location.href = aPage + vPage + ".html";
}
</script>

Thanks Mckirahan,

Because my script was designed for a FRAME - it opens the new page AND THEN
changes to the selected page - leaving an annoying blank page in between the
old and the new page (when not used in a frame).

I can't get it to do anything exactly the way you wrote the changes - but I
will keep playing around with it.

Thanks for the suggestion and the quick answer.

I actually found a simpler way to do it:
<script type="text/javascript">
function AdJump()
{
window.location .href = http://www.anysite.com/ads/ +
document.getEle mentById("adnum ").value + ".html";

}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<p><input id="adnum" type="text" value size="04"><br>
<button onclick="AdJump ()">Enter Ad Number</button><br>
</p>

</body>
Thanks :)

Hmmm.

I just noticed that the submit button doesn't highlight with 'button
onclick' - and you have to manually click the Submit button instead of just
hitting ENTER.

Please disregard my premature jumping-for-joy!

Anyone have any ideas?

Here is the script again:
<script type="text/javascript">
function AdJump()
{
window.location .href = http://www.anysite.com/ads/ +
document.getEle mentById("adnum ").value + ".html";

}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<p>
<input id="adnum" type="text" value size="04"><br>
<button onclick="AdJump ()">Enter Ad Number</button><br>
</p>

</body>

Perhaps this variation is what you want?:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function AdJump() {
var form = document.forms[0];
if (form.adnum.val ue == "") return false;
form.action = form.action.rep lace(/#/,form.adnum.val ue);
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<form action="http://www.anysite.com/ads/#.html"
method="post" onsubmit="retur n AdJump()">
Enter Ad Number:
<input id="adnum" type="text" value size="4" maxlength="4">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Your code brings back a correct URL - but it doesn't actually work.

I get a 'HTTP 405' error - 'Resource not allowed'.

But if I click the "Go" button again - it works - with the same URL that was
previously generated.

Very strange. :(

Try this
<input name="adnum" type="text" size="4" maxlength="4">

instead of
<input id="adnum" type="text" value size="4" maxlength="4">

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
