Opening links through search box

**ecarter202** · 10-14-2012, 01:13 AM

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>
