Using Iframe to open a browser with input

hapsmack · Feb 6, 2006

Hey guys,

I am trying to get a input from a user in a textbox which redirects to a .aspx page in which i want it to open a iframe in which i open a address such as "

http://www.mywebsite.com/images/<userinput>.aspx

Instead of userinput I want it to put the textbox input there. I am passing the textbox value using the GET method

I am using the following iframe code:
<IFRAME SRC="

http://www.mywebsite.com/images/"

FRAMEBORDER="0" SCROLLING="auto" WIDTH="446" HEIGHT="120" TITLE="Test">
Test </IFRAME>

Is there anyway I can use something like src="

http://www.mywebsite.com/images/"+txtvalue+".aspx"

?

Do I need to use VB script somehow using if statements and build a string?

I am fairly new to dreamweaver, any help would be greatly appreciated

Use javascript to redirect. Just add an onClick action to your submit button that appends the value of your text box to the redirect. Something like..

Code:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function myRedirect(){
myNewPage = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.anywebsite.com/images/"[/URL]
myNewPage = myNewPage + document.forms.form1.textbox1.value
myNewPage = myNewPage + ".apsx"
window.location = myNewPage
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <p>
    <textarea name="textbox1" id="textbox1"></textarea>
</p>
  <p>
    <input type="button" name="Button" value="Button" onClick="javascript:myRedirect()">
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Untested so you may wish to have a play
