HTML submit textfield to url

  • Hi.
    I want my users to fill in a text field with for example “test”.
    If the user clicks the submit button, a new tab has to be opened with URL name = “https://domainname.com/user/test
    Where test is the value from the text field.
    Is this possible and how to make this.

    I already made the following but i am stuck…

    <form action=”action_page.php”>
    Type the code:
    <input type=”text” name=”code” value=”Code”>

    <input type=”submit” value=”Send”>
    </form>

  • Can you use jQuery? If so,
    1- You could change the type of your Send button to “button” instead of “submit”.
    2- Detect the click, change the form’s action attribute and submit the form using the field value:

    jQuery(“#BUTTON”).click(function(){
    jQuery(‘#YOURFORM’).attr(‘action’, “https://domainname.com/user/”+jQuery(&#8220;.CODE”).val()).submit();
    });

    I guess i can use Jquery but i don’t know how to make this small piece of code all together and get it working.

    Can you help me out on this?

    Yes certainly!
    Where are you placing this html (form)? In a file directly in the template’s folder? Or in a page in the administrative area?

    on a page in admin area.
