Pass through value in text box in URL.

[static786]

I have an input box and I want to take the value entered in the imput box and pass it as a value through the url. Such that:

<input name="selected" type="text">

<a href="search_action.cfm?zoom=javaScript:document.pcSearch.selected.value">Zoom</a>

But it does'nt work?

You'd really be much better off using a submit button for this as this is the default behavior for submit buttons. However, if you'd like to work something up in javascript so that you can use an anchor instead, here's a quick example:

<script type="text/javascript">
function updateLink(str) {
   var a = document.getElementById("thelink");
   a.href = "search_action.cfm?zoom=" + str;
}
</script>

<input name="selected" type="text" onkeyup="updateLink(this.value)">

<a href="search_action.cfm?zoom=100" id="thelink">Zoom</a>
