how to link to a different page

1 New Member

I'm using this coding to have someone enter text; if they have not entered anything when the click the button they get an alert box asking for some input.
What I want is to send them to a New web page once they have actually entered something.

I have tried <a href....but it appears on the page; I don't want that. I just want an automatic change to the new page after the button has been pressed and a valid input has been made.

    <script type = "text/javascript">

      function validate(){

        // get inputs

        name = document.getElementById("txtName").value;
 
        //create an empty error message

        errors = "";
 
        //check name - It simply needs to exist

        if (name == ""){

          errors += "Please supply an answer…….. \n";

    } 
 
        //end if               

          //check for errors

            if (errors == ""){
 
          //process the form

        } else {

         alert(errors);

        }    // end if  

      } // end function

               id = "txtName" /> <button type = "button"

                onclick = "validate()">Check Your Answer </button>;

change the button type to "submit" and make sure, that when the validation fails, the default action (the form submit) is cancelled.

alternately, call the form’s submit() method in JS.

Looping through history.back() until a different page

by: Otto Wyss | last post by:

On a page of mine a user might submit data several time, which adds an entry to the history each time (similar as http://www.google.com/trends?q=iPod%2C+iPhone&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all). Yet later the user wants to go back to the previous page in one step. Now is it possible to loop backwards through the history until a different page is reached? Has anybody coded something like this? O. Wyss --

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
