Hi i was wondering is there any way that i can have a text field that when some one types in a stock market code for e.g. google = GOOG it goes to that page which is goog.html

Please Help

<form action="" onsubmit="this.action=this.elements[0].value.toLowerCase()+".html";return true;">
  <input type="text">
  <input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>

Are you going to list every stock quote avaliable?

It would seem to me to be easier (if you are NOT) to use a form with a drop down menu, or check boxes for the stocks you ARE listing, let the visitor choose from your selections, instead of entering their own.

For many reasons,

first, you can set each to go to a specific URL
second, you don't have to use redirect, worry about typos and error pages, etc

and you make it simple on the user, they can choose from a list instead of looking up the stock name and coming back to your site, etc..

onsubmit="this.action='stockwatch/'+this.elements[0].value.toLowerCase()+'.html';return true;"

BLiZZaRD is correct, though.

well the way we are doing it is both ways i need this code for people to use our website on there desktop.

Also the drop down box we are doing the demo site called BETA 0.0.1 will be up and running soon it will only have the home page.

But you will be able to see what we are doing.

one last think is there away i can get it to do this lets say they type in google it takes them to goog.html

also if they type something like yah and i don't have that code that it takes them to a contact page so they can contact me.?
