html pass argument

[houssam_ballout]

Hello all,as for passing an argument in html page, I am using the following<a href="index.php?page=search_first.php&search=docum ent.search1.searchText.value" />I want to get the value from a text box to send it with the url so that I can use it in another page to search for it.but the upper one is not working?Do I make any mistake?Thanks in advance__________________

If I'm not mistaken, your goal is to allow someone to type in a value into a text field and have that value be appended to the href of the link when the user clicks on that link?If that's the case, the simplist solution would be to add a onclick event handler to the link that appends the value of the text field to the href when someone clicks on the link:

<a href="index.php?page=search_first.php&search=" onclick="this.href += document.getElementById('search1').value">Click ME!</a>

The querystring will be set automatically if you place the textbox and other required fields in an html form. You could then use the link to execute some javascript which submits the form.

docum ent

is there an extra space in there?

The code has an extra space on there. That might be why it isn't working, you realize that right? the docum ent.search1 function isn't complete with the extra space between m and e

It wouldn't work anyways, the href attribute doesn't run javascript.Best use an HTML form like Reg Edit said.

It wouldn't work anyways, the href attribute doesn't run javascript.

Unless you use the java script: pseudo-protocol.
