URL bar

[viktor]

Hey guys,
I can't find this code in DD, it used to be there.
It was just a textfield with a button. So you could enter url of
a site in that textfield click go and the page would open in the other frame.

I need some help on this.

viktor

ps. anyone knows any simple codes for random ads?

I think it's



<form name="form_url" method="post" onsubmit="document.frames['frame_name'].location = this.form.elements['url'].value">
<label>Url:
<input name="url" type="text" id="url" size="100">
</label>
<label>
<input name="go" type="submit" id="go" value="Go">
</label>
</form>

Untested though.

Probably, you mean:
<form method="post" onsubmit="window.frames['frame_name'].location.href = this.elements['url'].value">
<label>Url:
<input name="url" type="text" size="100">
</label>
<label>
<input name="go" type="submit" value="Go">
</label>
</form>I hate those [html] tags... it messes up the formatting when one copies and pastes.

[viktor]

its not working, when I click Go nothing happens. :confused:

[viktor]

can anyone help please?

[tech_support]

Huh? Twey gave you the code. ^^^^^

[Twey]

Ah, sorry, I failed to return false:
<form onsubmit="window.frames['frame_name'].location.href = this.elements['url'].value; return false;">
<label>Url:
<input name="url" type="text" size="100">
</label>
<label>
<input name="go" type="submit" value="Go">
</label>
</form>If it's vital to the operation of your site, remember to provide server-side backup.

Hey, thanks for trying but it wouldn't work. =/
However, I found the code that I was talking about. It works, but now I can't figure out how to open it inside my frame. I tried putting target attribute everywhere inside form but no luck. I think it has to be inside JS code somewhere.

Can anyone help me out on this?


<form name="jumpurl1" onSubmit="return jumpit()">
<input type="text" size=30 name="jumpurl2" value="http://">
<input type="button" value="Go!" onClick="jumpit()">
</form>
<script>
function jumpit(){
window.location=document.jumpurl1.jumpurl2.value
return false
}
</script>

thanks,
v1k

That's not a good code.

See where "frame_name" is? Replace it with your frame name and see if that helps.

I got that code.

I was talking about the second code, it has nothing for frame name. The one that uses jumpit function.

[tech_support]

Yeah, but if you don't have the frame you want as the "default" frame then it won't work.

[viktor]

I know that. All I want is for this code to open the new page in a frame called lets say "Sample". I tried putting target attribute inside the form but that doesn't work. I think there has to be a change somewhere in the JS code. I can't figure it out.


<form name="jumpurl1" onSubmit="return jumpit()">
<input type="text" size=30 name="jumpurl2" value="http://">
<input type="button" value="Surf" onClick="jumpit()">
</form>
<script>
function jumpit(){
window.location=document.jumpurl1.jumpurl2.value
return false
}
</script>

I want the new page to open in a frame "Sample" when someone enters url in the textfield and hits enter.
