javascript form element

[stvchez123]

I am wondering if this is possible using javascript and a single HTML page. Being an ASP developer, I know that it's possible going that route, but wonder if javascript couldn't do the same task on a single HTML page.

Here is a sample:

http://fg-a.com/pulldownmenu.shtml

Basically, I'd want to enter a form field (this is in its simplest form):

http://www.yahoo.com

click submit
then on that same page, basically just place that address in a new form window which shows:

<a href="

http://www.yahoo.com">

more code... more code

the goal would be for someone to easily enter text, then propulate in a window with the associated. hope that isn't confusing, but that is the general idea.

You mean like this?

<script>
function formatLink(){
  var win=window.open();
  win.document.open("text/plain");
  win.document.write("<a href=\"");
  win.document.write(document.f.url.value);
  win.document.write("\">" + document.f.lbl.value + "</a>");
  win.document.close();
}
</script>

<form name="f" onsubmit="formatLink();return false">
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>URL</td>
      <td><input type="text" name="url">
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Label</td>
      <td><input type="text" name="lbl">
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>
