Question

I have a following scenario

<form action="" method="">
      < a href="XXXXX?name=">
      <textarea rows=3 columns=8 name=val><textarea>
</form>

The URL of the link tag should be dynamically generated based on the value of the textarea.

Could you suggest me how to go about this

Answer 1

<form action="" method="">
      <a id='link' href="">
      <textarea id="txt" rows="3" columns="8" name="val" onChange="updateLink()"><textarea>
</form>


function updateLink()
{
  value = document.getElementById('txt').value;
  document.getElementById('link').href = 'something.com?name='+value;
}
