Dynamic Method Link Action URl ... How ?

**stirnpanzer** · 10-16-2011 11:00 AM

Hi,

I want to change the url dependant on a question result "Do you wish to continue ?'"

so if :
document.forms[0].continue is equal to Yes go to url A
document.forms[0].continue is equal to No go to url B

so i want a way to pass a parameter to :

<form METHOD="LINK" ACTION="targeturl..."

any help greatly appreciated , see current working code below.

Thanks

Code:

  <script type="text/javascript">
//	var f =  document.forms["myform"];
	
	function validate() {

	if((document.forms[0].age[0].checked==false)&&(document.forms[0].age[1].checked==false))
		{
		alert('Are you aged 18-25 ?');
		return false
		} 

	if((document.forms[0].dyslexic[0].checked==false)&&(document.forms[0].dyslexic[1].checked==false))
		{
		alert('Are you dyslexic ?');
		return false
		} 
	if((document.forms[0].continue[0].checked==false)&&(document.forms[0].continue[1].checked==false))
		{
		alert('Do you wish to continue ?');
		return false
		} 
	}
	
	</script>
</head>

<body>

 <form  METHOD="LINK" ACTION="http://www.site.com/page1.htm" onsubmit="return validate()" >
   <p> Age : 18-25 Yes:
     <input type="radio" name="age" />
     No: <input type="radio" name="age" />
     <br />
     
     Dyslexic : Yes: 
     <input type="radio" name="dyslexic" />
     No: <input type="radio" name="dyslexic" />
     <br />
     Continue : Yes: 
     <input type="radio" name="continue" />
     No: <input type="radio" name="continue" />
     <br />
     <input type="submit" value="Submit">
   </p>
</form>

There are lots of ways to do this, one way is a JavaScript function like:

Code:

function formSubmission()
{
	document.location = (document.forms[0].continue[0].checked) ? "http://www.google.ca" : "http://www.bing.ca";
}

With a button like so:

Code:

<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="formSubmission()">

So Continue: Yes goes to Google while Continue: No goes to Bing

Also, LINK isn't a valid attribute of method, the two valid ones are "post" or "get"
