Replace frame URL with entered word

[doharr]

I have a simple frame set up. With a header box containing the logo, and two columns underneath, the working part.
In the left side there is a form box to enter request into.
The request will be names of colors like; red, purple, yellow, blue and others.
Once the name of the color is entered into the box, and enter is hit, the desired color is shown in the 2nd column.

The entered word will need to be combined into a URL statement like this.
http://www.server.com/%REPLACETHIS%.html

With %REPLACETHIS% being replace by the entry word from the client.

The files stating colors are single files and are located on the server.
http://www.server.com/red.html
http://www.server.com/purple.html
http://www.server.com/yellow.html
http://www.server.com/blue.html

I don't want to set up a CGI-BIN search or Google search added to the site.



Thank you for any help and direction!

hi ...

you may use the window.location.href property of a window (frame) here, call a function like this, when your action occurs:

function open_page(node, frame) {
    var url = 'http://www.server.com/%s.html';
    url = url.replace(/%s/, node.value);
 
    frame.location.href = url;
}
 

pass references to the node (input-element) and the target-frame to it ... in case you have problems with it then post your code so that we may look at it together ...

kind regards

html/css cannot do this. You need javascript so I'll send this there.
