how do you send user to a specfic page depending on form input?

Guest_imported · Jun 24, 2001

I have a web form and would like to send the user to a specific page depending on what radio button they check.

For example if they say they like vanilla ice cream (variable = "vanilla&quot

in the form, send them to page "A" once they hit the submit button. If they like chocolate (variable = "chocolate&quot

, send them to page "B" once they hit submit.

Thanks, I really appreciate your help.

This is a javascript question and this is a Java forum(a programming language). Perhaps next time you would like to post questions in the javascript forum?

Anyway take a look at this:-

<html>
<script language="javascript">
function redirect() {
if (document.form1.rd1[0].checked)
document.location.href="

http://www.hotmail.com";

else if (document.form1.rd1[1].checked)
document.location.href="

http://www.yahoo.com";

else if (document.form1.rd1[2].checked)
document.location.href="

http://www.microsoft.com";

}
</script>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<input type="radio" name="rd1" value="vanilla">vanilla<br>
<input type="radio" name="rd1" value="chocolate">chocolate<br>
<input type="radio" name="rd1" value="strawberry">strawberry<br>
<input type="button" value="Click" onclick="redirect()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
