Variable from text box moved to url

[LDM]

Hello,

I have a webpage set up to take in a number as input from a text box. I want
to plug the number entered into a url. The number is a parameter that the url
needs to run.

example:
enter number:
<input type="text" name="num" size="5">
<a href="http://TheUrlHere&num">

Is there a way to do this?
Thank-you,
LDM

You set the forms method to GET and its action to the wanted page.

Hi Thanks for responding. Ok, I set the method to GET and the action to the
wanted page. It now looks like this:

<form method="GET" action="http://TheURLHere.....&number=num"><p>
Enter ISBN<input type="text" name="num" size="5">
<input type=submit value=go></p>
</form>

It starts to execute and then I get an error about the parameters (num). Any
other ideas?

I don't remember asking you to enter anything but the URL.
Remove &number=num.
You should also use a relative URL unless of course it isn't your own
page.
