"javascript question"

could anyone show me a script so that when a button is clicked a promt comes up and if someone types in say bob then they get directed to a website but alll those people who dont write bob get redirected to a different site.

I agree, go with PHP .... if your host provides it, that is, as lie Tyla say, JavaScript isn't any good if the user turns it off. PHP can't be turned of by the user, so your 'bob' redirection thing will always work for the user.

Here you go, a little PHP Script to do what your after, just in case you do do in that direction.

Basicly, just put the 9 lines of code below in notepad and save it as a .php file, (e.g. bob.php)

---------------------------------------------

$Where = trim($Where);
$Where = strtolower($Where);

if ( isset($Where) && $Where == "bob") {
header("Location:bob_page.html");
} else {
header("Location:non_bob_page.html");
}
?>

---------------------------------------------

... and use this HTML code for the Form:

---------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------

It's simple, but it works..... I hope :o)

Oh.. also pointless as if you really want to get to the page for "bob" you just read the source code and find the word you need!

You need php...

All pointless if you have Javascript disabled!

you'd be better writing a function.

so...



then, in the main content add:

I can't be bothered to find out about the bit where you type "bob" and it redirects, and if you don't it redirects somewhere else, but this is the code for the button and prompt:
