Question

I am brushing up on my HTML while in the process of learning django and am wanting to create a form (single field and button). The button, when pushed should redirect to a page with the value in the form as a query string. For example, if the user types in “test”, then pushes the button, they should be redirected to “webpage.com?test”.

Am I correct in thinking the best way to do this is with javascript? If so, would anyone mind providing an example?

Thanks!

Answer 1

document.forms[0].addEventListener('submit', function() {
    window.location.href = 'webpage.com?fieldname='
                           + document.getElementById('yourfieldid').value;
}, false);

since you haven’t posted any code i just took the first form on the page and found a fictitious field to use as the query string parameter.
