Dynamic update of href.

[JohnSouth]

Hi

I'm constructing a web page that previews data as it is entered by the
user. One of the fields is a link, and the user is entering the url
that will go in the href property. I'd like to update the href of the
previewed link as the user enters the url text. I.e. dynamically
update the href.
I can't see how to do this. Is it possible?
Assuming IE6.

Cheers

<input onkeyup="z=document.getElementById('link');
z.innerHTML=z.href=this.value;" value='http://'>
<br>
<a href='http://' id='link'>http://</a>
Assuming IE6.

Why?

Hi Evertjan
That works!
I didn't know the href property was available. I suppose I should have
tried it.
I thought it may need IE 6 to work. Do you know if it will work with
other browsers?

Here's a fun one :)

<input onkeyup="z=window.frames['page'].location.href=this.value;"
value='http://'>
<iframe width=100% height=90% name="page"></iframe>

A new way to browse the web :)

Good for checking out new domain names. Should hook in DNS and ICANN as
well...

Food for thought,

Other browsers, I suppose so. Try!
