sending parameter in a link

SeetaramaRaju · 08-19-2005, 11:52 AM

i've a req where i need to enter a value in an input box and then send it as a parameter to the link. but it is not taking it. the following is the code iam using

the following is th code bit

Code:

<body>
  <form  action="/code.do" name="code">
    <table>
    <tr>
    <TD>REGION</TD>
    <TD>
    <input type="text"  name="Region">
    <a href="fipses.do?code=document.code.Region.value&event=Report" onClick="returnParam()">Report</a></TD>
    </tr>
    </table>
  </form>
</body>

my idea is to take 'document.code.Region.value' as parameter. But it is taking
the whole name itself instead of value.

How to accomplish this. Help please

How about somethign like this:

Code:

<body>
  <form  action="/code.do" method="get">
    <table>
    <tr>
    <TD>REGION</TD>
    <TD>
    <input type="text"  name="code" value="">
    <input type="hidden" name="event" value="Report">
    <input type="submit" name="Report" value="Report"></TD>
    </tr>
    </table>
  </form>
</body>

or if you wanted to still do it with a link you could use something like this:

HTML Code:

<input id="Region"> <br> <a href="javascript:window.location='test.html?code='+document.getElementById('Region').value+'&event=Report';">Report</a>

note that the code parser broke up the word document .. so you will have to take the spaces out.

I've noticed that too.. I don't know if it has something todo with linelength of the parsed code-segments, since I've noticed the index where the spaces appear is controlled by the remaining length of the parsed line, calculated from the added <double> space.

Jus a thought I encountered in a thread I once answered to.

i think vbulletin just breaks it up to prevent javascript embedding.. i could be wrong.
