Can javascript do this?

[wikten]

I have a text pager, at http://sbc2way.com/web_instruct.html it sez.


The send message page will also take inline parameters from the URL that is

referenced with the page when it is loaded in your browser. You can supply
1,2 or 3

parameters in any order, depending on your needs. The parameters that are
accepted

are:
'pager=63055512 12' where the number is the 10 digit pager number
'from=From Message' where the from message is limited to 16 characters
'text=body of text message...' where the body + from message is limited to
800

characters
In order to use this feature you need to make a link (shortcut) to the web
send

message page. An example link would look like this:

http://www.sbc2way.com/web_sendmsg.html?pager=7085551212&from=From

Me&text=This is

the text of a test message.

If you click on the above like you can see how it fills in these values to
the web

send message page.

Is it possable to us javascript on a webpage with forms to make this
work?

You don't need JS, just this HTML:

<form action="http://www.sbc2way.com/web_sendmsg.htm l" method="post">
pager: <input type="text" id="pager"><br >
from: <input type="text" id="from"><br>
text: <input type="text" id="text"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send"> <input type="reset">
</form>

1. A form element requires a _name_ (attribute value) to be submitted:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.2>

2. To result in the above URL, the method must be GET (the default),
not POST.

3. Since this is tabular data, it is reasonable to use a table (element)
here.

Minimal CSS code:

th {
text-align:left;
}

Minimal HTML code:

<form action="http://www.sbc2way.com/web_sendmsg.htm l">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Pager:<th >
<td><input name="pager"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th>From:</th>
<td><input name="from"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th>Text:</th>
<td><input name="text"></td>
</tr>
</table>

<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
