ive tried the following :


<html>

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
function GoToURL() {

var URLis;
URLis = document.myForm.Dest.value

if (URLis == "" || URLis.length <= 8)
{
alert('\nOops!\n\nYou must enter a valid URL');
}
else
{
this.location.href = URLis;
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" value=" name="Dest">
<input type="button" value="go to url" onClick="GoToURL()">
</form>

</body>

</html>


but that doesnt work, basically i want people to enter any url (like an address bar) and click Go! to visit the url they have typed in. can someone give me the information to input this onto my site?

thanks

Something like this might be what you are after:
Code: 
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www."[/URL] name="Dest">
<input type="button" value="go to url" onClick="this.location=document.myForm.Dest.value;">
</form>

Cheers,
Jeff

Ah... sorry... my fault:
Code: 
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www."[/URL] name="Dest">
<input type="button" value="go to url" onClick="[COLOR=red]location.href[/color]=document.myForm.Dest.value;">
</form>

After looking at the code a little more... I thought you might want to benefit from the user being able to press enter/return as well as press the button to go to the url they just typed in:
Code: 
<form name="myForm" action="" onsubmit="return false">
<input type="text" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www."[/URL] name="Dest" onkeydown="if(event.keyCode==13) location.href=this.value;">
<input type="button" value="go to url" onclick="location.href=document.forms['myForm'].Dest.value;">
</form>

Cheers,
Jeff

well depends, either you have a 1.5 version of sony psp or the new 2.0 version.

the 2.0 version has a built in browser which does have an address bar.

the 1.5 version has a ripped version from a game called "tenchi no mon". basically you can rune home made programs/games on 1.5/1.0 and you cannot on 2.0.
