Question

if i have a text field like this:

<input type="text" name="quantity" id="txtquantity">

what i am trying to figure out is how can i grab the value of that text field and append it to a link like this:

index.php?quantity=(the value)

if this is done with jquery how would i do it?

Im not sure if you are trying to do this on the page the input gets posted to, or the current page. If you are trying to do it on the page the form gets posted to you would need to use PHP like the following.

<?php
    echo '<a href="'.$_GET['txtquantity'].'" />';
?>

However, if you are trying to do it before the form is submitted then using jQuery you would do it like this,

$("a").attr("href", $(this).attr("href") + $("#txtquantity").val());
