Question

I just want to redirect the user to google search when he type some thing in text box and then submit, for that i coded:

<script type="text/javascript">
function gotosearch(){
var search = document.getElementById('q').value;
window.location = "http://www.google.com.pk/#hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=604&q="+search+"&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=1";
return true;
}
</script>

But window.location does not redirect to google page

but I failed…

• You need to format the search string to be URL-compatible (e.g. replace ' ' with '+' and replace other reserved characters with '%xx' hex values)
• There needs to be a ? in the URL before the parameter list. The # character means to go to an anchor (i.e. <a name="foo"></a>) on the page.
