text field to window URL (javascript)

1 New Member

Hello,
I've been trying to work on this all day, maybe someone here can give me a hand.

I need a simple (or so i think) javascript that will the user a text field.

The information that they enter (for ex. "cat") will actually lead them to a webpage cat.html within the same directory.

For example, The user types "cat" into the text field and hits enter. The browser then loads "cat.html"

I would like to do this without a "submit" button however i am not sure if that is possible to just allow a return key.

Thank you in advance
Paul
