HTML Hyperlink Modification

[makotze1]

Is it possible to create an input box that will modify a hyperlink?

I created a database of web pages, all numbered with a ".htm" as an extension. i wanna create one search page that can browse through all the names and pull out that particular page, I don't necessarily want the content on the page itself, just want the search to pull up the page. I want to be able to run this localy. that why php and cgi arnt really an option.

Am i dreaming? is this even possible? what about vbscript or java?

heres what I'm saying

[input box] hyperlink (with a ".htm" string.

so the user can type a number in and the button will add a .htm and it will open that page i want.

How can i do this?

This cannot be one with html or css. You should ask on one of the web language boards.

Should be possible with JavaScript, at least taking the input, adding and redirecting part, but not any connection to a database (unless you use some proprietary stuff). Even if you're running the page locally, you can still use PHP or another language- you just need to set it up.
