Please Help With Forms

[zazoo]

ok im fairly new to forms but is there a really simple way I could make a form that makes what they typed show up in the adress bar?


this is what I mean,
you have a text box, you have a button and you type bla in the box then your browser goes to www.somesite.com/bla when you press the button

is there a way to do this without a cgi script and just a form? thanks

Use a javascript:


<form name="form">
<input type="text" name="url">
<input type="button"
OnClick="top.location.href='http://www.somesite.com/'+form.url.value;" value="Go">
</form>

or make it <form action="blahblahblah.cgi" method="get">

You still need to write a perl or PHP script then.
