Form to Select Links

Seems simple but answer escapes me!

I am working for a realtor trying to simplify his listings search with some predetermined saved searches. We would like to select from 6 zones in a list and 3 price ranges in a drop down, and then on submit yield a saved search URL from the big MLS search engine. The downside is that the owner wants his secretary to be able to update via Front Page.

Can javascript take two form fields and combine the values to yield on submit a predetermined URL?

Maybe one of these two links will help:

[javascript.internet.com...]

[javascript.internet.com...]

Thanks, but those scripts don't work for what I'm doing. They allow the user to build the url with javascript, but I have no control of the url as it's saved in a database. I'm thinking that I'll have to do it with a script on the server.

how about something like this:

<input type=text id=a><input type=text id=b><input type=submit onClick="window.location=document.all.a.value+document.all.b.value+'.html'">

Please explain in better detail if this is not what you are looking for.

We are allowed to do searches and save the URL in their database. We have no control over the third party database and the URLs differ only in an id number. The javascript solutions seem to build the url ("a+b+.html" yields www.example.com/ab.html) and we can't do that here.

then give an example of a third-party selection and the destination URL you would like the person to be forwarded to, please. (Because I am still not sure what you wish to accomplish.)

example.com/property_search_results.asp?gateway_lo_code=L000915&SavedSearchID=50602

I'll have maybe 30 links like this and the only difference is the last 6 digets.

[adni18]

so you want to have a user select from a combo-box the last six digits in gateway_lo_code?

(The user selected a 123456:)

example.com/property_search_results.asp?gateway_lo_code=L123456&SavedSearchID=50602

I again recommend this site. Look more carefully at its results. [javascript.internet.com...]
