Try this simple Google search demo. Select, copy, paste into notepad, save & open in browser:
<!-- Submit via link and submit button -->
<form name="magic" target=_self method="GET" action="http://www.google.
<input type=submit name="sendme" value="Google.ca">
<input type=text name=q size=31 maxlength=2048 value="key" title="Search">
</form>
<a href="#" onclick="document.magic.ac
<B>Search Google.com</B></a>
Here's a basic explanation: when "jrs.aspx?test=50&scr=1024
if test is greater or equal to 50, tell the user that they've reached their limit of tests, and since "scr" = 1024x768, show the test results in a page optimzed to that screen resolution.
You could also use javascript to parse the url and make choices based on that. But javascript is client-side, whereas my prior example gets executed on the server and does it's parsing before the page actually makes it to the client.
Hi Hepen,
I got your question.
Hope following code should answer you.
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script>
var querystring="";
//This is to get the parameters supplied in the URL
function run(){
var url=location.href;
var urlparts="";
if(url.indexOf("?")>-1){
urlparts=url.split("?");
querystring=urlparts[1];
}
}
//Composing the URL to do the form submit
function formPost(){
document.frm.action="<<act
document.frm.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="run();">
<form name="frm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="searchstr" value="form post"><br>
<input type="button" value="Search" onclick="formPost();">
</form>
</body>
</html>
What actually I am doing here is that reading the above parameters in URL and saving them in a variable.
When I am clicking on the search button to do post, I am composing the action of the Form to append with above parameters.
Hope this point should be clear to you.
Thanks.

When form is submitted via the submit button or hitting ENTER (if there's a submit button), the browser takes the form data, formats it automatically, and appends it to the url contained in the action attribute
