JavaScript onclick redirect

rated 0 times [ 146] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 113775 / 12 Years ago, tue, october 9, 2012, 12:00:00

I have this text field and button here

<input name=txtSearch type=text id=txtSearch class=field />            

<input type=submit name=btnSearch value= id=btnSearch class=btn onclick=javascript:SubmitFrm() />

and when the user clicks on the submit button this function is suppose to run

<script type=text/javascript>

    function SubmitFrm(){

        var Searchtxt = document.getElementById(txtSearch).value();

        window.location = http://www.example.com/search/?Query= + Searchtxt;

    }

</script>

But nothing happens, what I expecting to happen is when the user clicks on the submit button, take the value from the search text box and redirect the user to the url + the value of the search text box...

What am I doing wrong?

Doing this fixed my issue

<script type=text/javascript>

    function SubmitFrm(){

        var Searchtxt = document.getElementById(txtSearch).value;

        window.location = http://www.mysite.com/search/?Query= + Searchtxt;

    }

</script>

I changed .value(); to .value; taking out the ()

I did not change anything in my text field or submit button

<input name=txtSearch type=text id=txtSearch class=field />            

<input type=submit name=btnSearch value= id=btnSearch class=btn onclick=javascript:SubmitFrm() />

Works like a charm.
