Guys, I have completely forgotten how to do this.

How do you make a form that goes to a directory depending on the text entered into a text box?

For example if you type "hello" in the text box, it will take you to: http://DOMAIN.com/hello

I've forgotten.

Thanks

Joe

Oh yea, Javascript if possible?

My mind has gone completely today, I think the JD + coke's i had last night didn't do me much good =/

The jQuery version:


<input type="text" onChange="window.location.replace('/' + $(this).val())"/>
Although, I have to admit, I have no idea what you'd use this for...how is this any more convenient than typing the same thing in your address bar?

Its for a little peice of software i'm making for a primary school intranet. As the kids are only 3-7 years old, they cant spell most words.

Its only to go in after the scripts and stuff really once its worked out what they've typed.

Thanks :)
