Opening links through search box
Bit of a noob to web development. I'm trying to get to certain websites by entering "their" identifiers into a search box. For some reason a blank page opens along with the website.
I want the website to open in the same, current window.
Any comments/advice related to this type of processes or doing would be more than greatly appreciated!!! HERE IS THE CODE: (problem lies between "search box" comment)
Code:
<html>
<title>SMK | Welcome</title>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/content.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>
Shift My Knob | Welcome
</h1>
<div class="img-searchBox">
<img src="images/searchBox.png">
</div>
<div class="img-mainBar">
<img src="images/mainBar.png">
</div>
<!--SEARCH BOX_______________________________________________________________________-->
<script type="text/javascript">
var carType = "";
if (carType = "ferrari") {
carType = "http://ferrari.com";
}
else if (carType = "honda") {
carType = "http://honda.com";
}
function goTo() {
search = window.open(carType)
window.open()
return false;
}
</script>
<form action="" method="get" onsubmit="return goTo()">
<label for="url">
<input id="search" type="text" name="search" value="search" size="30" onFocus="this.value=''">
</label>
<!--________________________________________________________________________________-->
<ul id="topnav">
<li id="topnav-1"><a href="sport.html" title="Sport">Sport</a></li>
<li id="topnav-2"><a href="tuner.html" title="Tuner">Tuner</a></li>
<li id="topnav-3"><a href="muscle.html" title="Muscle">Muscle</a></li>
<!--<li id="topnav-4"><a href="home.html" title="Home">Home</a></li>-->
</ul>
</body>
