This is probably a really simple thing...but I've not worked with forms very much at all.
What I want to do is have a user enter a 6 character value (ASMITH) into a form and when they click the submit button, it takes that data they entered and appends .html to the end of it and then opens the new ASMITH.html page in a new window.
Any help that can be provided would be very, very appreciated!
Thanks guys!

get value from the text field
suppose form name is
"form1" and text field name is "t1"
this is how you get the value from the tet feild and create a page name and open it in curent window
var value = document.form1.t1.value;
window.location.href=value+".html";

I'm having issues with the code below. Keep in mind that I am very new to forms...so please keep the laughter to a dull roar. :-)
What I want to do is take the value from the form and use it to open a new window with ".html" added on to whatever the user entered in the form. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Okay, I've tried to simplify this as best I can...see below.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong...or how I can accomplish this? Thanks guys.

The code is working okay now...see below.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test</TITLE>
<script language="JavaScript">
function openWin()
{
var docvalue=document.form1.t1.value+".html";
window.open(docvalue,'','');
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="form1">
Enter Query Text: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="t1" size="18" maxlength="18">
<input type="button" value="Get Info" onClick="openWin();">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>

It's probably better to do
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test</TITLE>
<script language="JavaScript">
function openWin()
{
window.open(document.form1.t1.value + ".html",'','');
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="form1" onsubmit="openWin()">
Enter Query Text: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="t1" size="18" maxlength="18">
<input type=submit value="Get Info">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
