Thoughts on js redirect upon hitting Enter - 4/5/2006 10:34:57
I've got a text search field that I want to submit on Enter/Return. Problem is, I want the contents of the field to be a querystring so that the results of the search can be bookmarked. I want to keep the form submission as a POST and not a GET (no budging on that).
I'm thinking about using javascript to check for the Enter key press, and then building the string and redirecting to the results page (same as the search page) so that I get the querystring and the results.
Any thoughts on how I might do this better or why I shouldn't do this will be gratefully received. I've got most of the js written, so it's more of an ideas thing - unless you suggest something I've no idea about! :)

I guess I'm not sure what you're trying to do.
Are you trying to change the ACTION value of the form before you submit? That's pretty straight forward to add virtually any querystring you want onto the ACTION value:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function submitToFinal() {
document.myform.action = 'mypage.asp?myname=myvalue';
document.myform.submit();
}
//-->
</script>
Is that what you're trying to do?

Not really. I'm using .Net which doesn't really pay much attention to Action, there is no Action since everything is a postback to the same page. Everything is POST too, so GET isn't a possibility. Technically, I'm ignoring the usual .Net model so I can get the querystrings in the address bar to use as bookmark fodder. Perhaps there's a better way with .Net, but I don't know it and can't find it.
I suppose I'm changing the Enter press into a hyperlink click, and the searchterm gets added to the end of the link, then because it isn't really a link I need to do a redirect.
