I am trying to edit the webaddress so it reads the inputted ip, so far i have got it to read the ip currently in the address and have a form to input the ip.

Also if anyone has any tips on how to maker the form more ip formatted would be helpful.

If the ip adres does not change you could use:

element = document.getElementById("ip");
var newstring = ipMeasurmentString.replace("ip=12.215.42.19&",element.value);

if it change you could try:

var part = str.split("ip=");
var newstring = part[0] + "ip=" + element.value + "&position=true"; //part[0] = text before the ip=
