Go to Anchor Function

JBorges · Sep 16, 2009

Hi!

I have this code below that let's me type in a number that goes to the requested anchor tag. All my anchor tags in my html file are numbers.

<input type="text" onchange="window.location ='#' + this.value;" />

I would like to make this a function. I tried the following but it doesn't work:

<script>
function go() {
window.location ='#' + this.value;
}
</script>

<body style="font-size: 14px;">

<input type="text" onchange="go();" />

Can anyone help me?

I suppose people at forum216 could.

Thanks. I'll post it there. Probably a better place to post it.

Your function doesn't know what "this" is. As "this" would be itself.

Pass the ID of the textbox to it instead.

Code:

onChange="myfunction(this);"


...


function myfunction(mybox){
window.location ='#' + mybox.value;

}

You may also want to rename your function as go is a Javascript function already, and it may cause problems

For any further JS questions, you should ask here: forum216
