Complete a URL from form field input!

[marko2002]

Guys,

Anyone possibly know to to add text to a URL from a form field?. I've set up an internal web site where users could optionally type something such as

http://domain.com/userid

and they would then have access to their home folder via a web page after authentication. Ideally, what I'm trying to do is have the user enter their username in a form field on the index page and on Submit this would then take them to

http://domain.com/formfield.

Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated.

Just had another though actually - would it even be possible to have the user enter their username and password into the index page and on submit would both authenticate them as well as redirect them to the

http://domain.com/formfield

page.

Cheers again

You mean like

<script>
function login(){
window.location="[URL unfurl="true"]http://mydomain.com/"[/URL] + users.aname.value + users.apassword.value;
}
</script>


<form id="users"><pre>
 Name:     <input type="text" id="aname" />
 Password: <input type="text" id="apassword" />
 <input type="button" id="name" value="Log In" onclick="login();" /></pre>
</form>

Fendal,

This is great m8 - thanks so much for this, though I'm not sure about the authentication to the server - regardless, the URL works great.

Many thanks again
Marko

If your server uses php or asp you could get the password by calling querystring (in asp).

<script>
function _Submit(){
if(users.apassword.value=="" || users.aname.value==""){
alert("Enter Value");
return false;
}
window.location="[URL unfurl="true"]http://127.0.0.1/?name="+escape(users.aname.value)[/URL] + "&pass=" + escape(users.apassword.value);
}
</script>

<form id="users"><pre>
 Name:     <input type="text" id="aname" />
 Password: <input type="text" id="apassword" />
 <input type="button" id="sendit" value="Log In" onclick="_Submit();" /></pre>
</form>

this would give you two querystrings one called "name" and the other called "pass".

Fendal, thanx again for this - not had a chance to try it out but definately will - I'm not heavy into coding/scripting and so cannot quite fully understand much of the above scripts, though will this script 'authenticate' against the PDC and send the user to the required URL (i.e.

http://domain.com/userfield).

I've tested the URL part which is great, not the 'authentication' part.

Thanx again
Marko

By PDC I assume you are talking about "Primary Domain Controller" ?, this script won't do that, it's just creating a basic query string to be used with ASP/PHP, I don't know much about PDC, sorry.

Fendal, sorry for not replying sooner - yes, I was referring to Primary Domain Controller, though the script does a great job for what I had initially requested and so thanx once again for this.
