Question

I have this text box here…

<input name="search" type="text" maxlength="512" id="search" class="searchField" autocomplete="off" title="" />

and I also have this submit

<input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" onclick="location.href='http://www.website.com/search/';" id="btnSearch" class="buttonSearch" />

what I am trying to do is add whatever is in the text box in my

onclick="location.href='http://www.website.com/search/';"

so it would look like this..

onclick="location.href='http://www.website.com/search/what ever the user searches';"

how would I go about doing this, I have been googling my little heart out.

Answer 1

This should work:

onclick="location.href='http://www.website.com/search/'+document.getElementById('search').value;"

But I wouldn’t ever write that in one of my project as writing script directly on tags is a bad practice.
