I have a textbox for search and a button that redirects to given value

  • 0

I have a textbox for search and a button that redirects to given value of the textbox. It works well except for firefox 3, which ignores the function completely. Any ideas why and how to fix it? I have already tried window.location instead of location.href, but it again works well in all major browsers but firefox.

My code:

<%=Html.TextBox("search", Html.Encode(ViewData["search"])) %>    
<input type="button" onclick="location.href='<%= Url.Content("~/Authorized/Accounts/0/1/") %>'+search.value" value="Search" />

EDIT

And here is the generated code:

<input id="search" name="search" type="text" value="" /> 
<input type="button" onclick="window.location='/Authorized/Accounts/0/1/'+search.value" value="Search" />

    <%=Html.TextBox("search", Html.Encode(ViewData["search"])) %>    
<input type="button" onclick="location.href='<%= Url.Content("~/Authorized/Accounts/0/1/") %>'+document.getElementById('search').value;" value="Search" />

    If you’re using jQuery:

    <%=Html.TextBox("search", Html.Encode(ViewData["search"])) %>    
<input type="button" onclick="location.href='<%= Url.Content("~/Authorized/Accounts/0/1/") %>'+$("#search").val();" value="Search" />
