JavaScript question

Hi all,

I have an input textbox where users would enter a URL. I want to have a
button next to the textbox that would test that URL by opening it in a
textbox. This is the code I have:

<form>
<input type="text" name="preview" value="preview">
<input type="button" name="previewText" value="Preview"
onclick="javascript:previewText()">
</form>

<script language=`JavaScript`>

</script>

My question: how can I pass the value of the "previewText" textbox to the
URL portion of the "window.open" command, so that that URL is open in the
popup window?

Or, any other suggestion to achieve the same functionality (to check that a
URL works)?

Thanks in advance,

Roberto Perez

Thanks a lot, that worked. One problem (bug?) I`ve noticed: if the user
does not enter the "http://" portion, the url is treated as a webpage, and
the button tries to open something like "http://www.mysite.com/urlHere"
which obviously is not recognized as a valid URL. Is there any way of
forcing something like "www.site.com" to behave as "http://www.site.com"?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

You can use javascript to check for the http:// prefix in the url
variable if it does not exist just add the http://prefix to the url
and you will get the desired functionality.

Can be easily done in javascript.

Thanks
