Hi all,
I’m learning to code and building a site to push my learning along. However, I am having a frustrating issue.
On my site I would like to have search functionality, but for the search to be completed on a different URL. I understand this requires query parameters, but I'm a bit lost.
For example, if my site is “www.mysite.com” I would like a user to be able to input their city (could be any city in the world) and then select an option from a dropdown menu, say ‘running’ or ‘cycling’ and then the combination of the two querys added together and executed on “www.fitnessbuddies123xyz.com” (for example) and if someone had added a listing for a fitness buddy on “www.fitnessbuddies123xyz.com” and the string matched a URL on that site then the results would appear.
My current HTML is below:
Firstly, I have a text box:
<input type="text" class="form-control-lg form-control" id="inputText12" placeholder="City">
And then there is a drop-down menu, with three set options:
<select class="form-control form-control-lg" id="exampleFormControlSelect1">
<option>Running</option>
<option>Cycling</option>
<option>Walking</option>
</select>
I then have a button:
<a href="url" class="btn btn-lg btn-block btn-primary">Search</a>
Any help on how I can create the query string for the text box and dropdown menu and then execute on an external URL would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
