Send a URL composed from form fields?

[Albro27]

I am trying to compose a URL from form fields and then send it but being a novice in java I haven't managed to work it out. In straight html my URL is something like:
<a target="_blank" href="/apps/bbsearch/esearch.aspx?&metaGE3=variable1&metaGE2=variable2& metaSE4=variable3&run=yes&bank=CB1"></a>
All I want to is gather the variables from the form (I know how to do that) but then get a button to do the rest.
Any guidance would be welcome.

Hi Albro27 welcome to TSDN,
take a look at this:
[HTML]
<form name="myForm" id="myForm">
<input type="text" name"field1" id="field1" />
<input type="text" name"field2" id="field2" />
<input type="button" name="button1" id="button1" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunction();" />
</form>
[/HTML]

function myFunction()
{
var value1 = document.getElementById("field1").value;
var value2 = document.getElementById("field2").value;
var url = "apps/bbsearch/esearch.aspx" + "?first=" + value1 + "&second=" + value2;
window.open(url, "My New Page");
}
 

good luck

How about just using the GET method to do it automatically for you instead? You could send the data to a new window by using the target attribute.
