Macro substitution in Javascript

[andersond]

I need to pass the value of a textbox in a call to another URL. I have a form with a textbox named "Producer." I need to send the value typed into that text box to another site, eg: "http://www.otherwebsit e.com?name=<wha tever has been typed into the "Producer" textbox>"

What I am getting passed now is the literal value of whatever is to the right of the equals sign in "name=".

How can I pass the value of the textbox instead of the name of the textbox?

If the ID of the text box is "Producer":
[code=javascript]document.getEle mentById("Produ cer").value[/code]

[code=javascript]document.getEle mentById("Produ cer").value[/code]

I've already tried that. I've tried putting that exact code in the line calling the url and I've tried using that exact code to define a variable and use it in the line calling the url. It doesn't work. I still get whatever I put in the line that calls the url.

please show the html-code for your form where the textbox in question is located ...

kind regards

I think I've realised what you've done. You've put it all inside the string instead of putting the value outside:
[code=javascript]"http://www.otherwebsit e.com?name=" + document.getEle mentById("Produ cer").value;[/code]
