How can i get text from input field?The input field is merely a text field, for our example lets say that you have named it "linktext" (without the quotation marks of course). To get the inputted link, and redirect the current page to it, just use:<br />
<br />
parent.location.href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/document.linktext.value;<br />
<br />
That will be part of a javascript function. Here is one example of a very basic page with it in it:<br />
<br />
<HTML> <br />
<HEAD><br />
<TITLE> MySite</TITLE><br />
<script language="JavaScript"><br />
<br />
</script><br />
<br />
</HEAD><br />
<body ><br />
<input type="text" name="linktext" value=""><br />
<input type="submit" name="toredirect" value="Submit" onClick="pageredirect()"><br />
</BODY></HTML>Sorry, but this example not working

<br />
<br />
Here is example of my code:<br />
<br />
<form name="search" method="GET" action=""><br />
<input type="text" name="textfield" size="47" /><br />
</form><br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"javascript:document.forms[0].submit()"><br />
<img src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"images/button1.jpg" name="button1" id="button1" /></a>It was got! <br />
I have done so:<br />
<br />
<form name="search" method="GET" action=""><br />
<input type="text" name="textfield" size="47" /><br />
</form><br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"javascript

arent.location.href=document.forms[0].textfield.value"><br />
<img src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"images/button1.jpg" name="button1" id="button1" /></a>
