Please help - URL based on textbox

[forbin27]

Need help - I'm new to javascript. I need to create a URL based on a
textbox.

Idea is user enters a number into a text box then clicks button which
retrieves a link based on the number previously entered in the
textbox. Something like:

http://www.xyz123.com/constanttext/<number from box>/constant/

Any ideas?

Thanx,
Craig

Lots of ideas. Some not fit to post in a family oriented group.

beginningOfURL = http://www.xyz123.com/constanttext/'
middleOfURL = document.forms['formID'].elements['textBoxNAME'].value
endOfURL = '/constant/'
completeURL = beginningOfURL + middleOfURL + endOfURL

document.location.href=completeURL

How user could know which numbers are available ?

<select onchange="var k = this.options.selectedIndex;
if(k==0) {alert('choice in list');return}
location.href='http://www.xyz123.com/constanttext/'+
this.options[k].value+'/constant/';">
<option>Find next</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="214">2</option>
<option value="48">3</option>
</select>

With an input :

<input onchange="location.href='http://www.xyz123.com/constanttext/'+
this.value+'/constant/';">
<input name="false_button" type=button value="go">

or :

<form action="http://www.xyz123.com/constanttext/"
onsubmit="this.action += this.number.value + '/constant/';">
Enter a number here: <input name="number" type=text>
<input type=submit value="go">
</form>
