how can I build a URL using input boxes

[bookouri]

I want to open a new browser to a URL, but I want to display a form for the user to enter some info that will be used to build the url.. for example

http://www.myco.com/users/333.htm

might be user #333's page. I need a form to ask for the user ID and then create the url, "

http://www.myco.com/users/"

& strUserNumber" and open that url in a new browser window when the user enters their ID and pushes the button. I can find examples of buttons that take input and search a database etc. but I cant figure out how to use it to build a URL.

Any help would be appreciated..

Hi

Use the submit function and send the inputs to the servers, then let the server build the URL and response.redirect to the page for the URL you built.

<%
strVar1 = request.form(&quot;TextBox1&quot


'then concatenate the results to the URL you need
response.redirect (&quot;

http://www.myothersite.com/&quot;

& strVar1 & &quot;&quot
%>
