Form to Act Like the Address Bar

sickufu · Sep 10, 2001

I have one goal in mind: to make a form with only the functionality of the address bar.

User types in a URL, hits Enter, and gets sent there.

Odd question, I know, but I assure you there is a good reason for this.

Can someone post the HTML for a form that would do this? Pretty please?

give the form an ID and an onclick call in the html in the form tag. In the onclick, call a function you will put in the head section. the function should look somthing like this.
<head>
Function formsname onclick(){
window.navigate(place url here);
}
</head>

hi
sickufu, try something like this:

function goThere(){
var loc=document.forms.my.txt1.value
top.location.href=loc
}

<form name=my>
<input type=text name-txt1>
<input type=button value="go!" onclick="goThere()">
</form> Victor
