Javascript to go to directory

[SaltyBob]

Hi,

This is probally a total noob question, and may not even be possible BUT,

Can you make javascript complete a url according to a user's input for example

If a user inputs "keyboard" into a text box, the webpage would bounce to a new directory called "keyboard" so you would go to http://www.myurl/keyboard/

"keyboard" could be anything that a user cold put in, and they would be directed to that directory (provided the directory exists).

The reason behind this is because I am trying to create a site that a user could login to (with a username and password) and once logged in they would have access to everything that a regualr member would have access to as well as a profile type page.

The only problem is that I dont know how to create this with a database or PHP so i am using .htaccess to protect these folders. When in the generic protected area, you would enter in your user id (to access the profile page) and if you entered the correct id (corresponding with your current login) you would be taken to that profile page. If you entered in another user's id, you would then be asked for a username and password (again).

This is probally really confusing, i understand. But if anyone could help (either with the javascript, or help to design a proper database etc) i would be very greatful.

Please Reply!
