Need help with goToURL

[E9 Mike]

Good Evening,

I am trying to get the following Javascript and HTML code to function
correctly, but continuously receiving errors with the "else statement".

JAVASCRIPT
------------------
function goToURL()
{
pdtotal = document.myform1.productdensity1.value

if ( pdtotal >= 1 );
{
alert(" entering IF and GT or Equal to One (1) ");
window.location="05-CBM Freight Classes Page.htm";
}
else
{
alert(" entering ELSE and LT or Equal to Zero (0) ");
}
}

HTML
--------
<input type=button tabindex="4" value="Go To Next Screen"
onClick="goToURL()">

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

I'm probably a bit too late, but figured I'd throw this up anyways.

I made some changes, but the following worked fine for me. I didn't know what
kind of form element 'productdensity1' was, so I just wrote it up as a text
field. So you'll have to change that part depending on your needs. Anyways,
here's the code:





/*--------------- Javascript -------------------------- */
function goToURL() {
var pdtotal = document.forms['myform1'].elements['productdensity1'].value;
if(pdtotal >= 1) {
alert('entered if statement');
window.location = 'http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.html';
} else {
alert('entered else statement');
}
}


HTML

<form action="" name="myform" id="myform1">
<input type="text" name="productdensity1" id="productdensity1" value="test">
<input type="button" name="nextbutton" id="nextbutton" value="Go to next
screen" onClick="goToURL();">
</form>

rilkesf,

Thanks for the tip. I did finally figure it out, but , your comments were
beneficial and I will keep them for future use. I do have another question, I
am trying to figure out how to pass data from one form (web page 1) to another
form (web page 2), any thoughts.

Sorry for all the Icons, slip of the mouse.

The easiest way is to capture the information from page 1 with whatever dynamic
language you are using (PHP, ASP, etc.) and insert it into a variable. Then
you can reuse the form information on page 2 by calling the variable.

For example, in PHP you would insert this on page 2:

<?php
$passed_info = $_GET['field_name'];
?>

Where 'passed_info' is whatever you want to call your variable, '$_GET' is the
method you specified for your form on page 1 (either 'get' or 'post'), and
'field_name' is what you named the form field you want to capture.
