Are you sure action="http://" is correct? This will not let you go to the same page. Do not use the action attribute for that.

ASKER

Are your meaning:
<form name="directForm" method="post" action="http://" onsubmit="setTarget(this);">

Should I just leave it with ""

bartvd

Yes

all that happens now is a reload of the page... Here is an update of the config:

This line: <input type="submit" name="go" value="GO" onclick="submitDirectAccess( this.form );" class="gobutton">

should also be this line:
<input type="button" name="go" value="GO" class="gobutton">

I suppose.
You use javascript to navigate to the other page, so your form should not be submitted. Also, you change your onclick event in a function that does nothing, this has to be removed.

Michel Plungjan

What is your aim

You have an
1. onsubmit but
2. an onclick on the submit button (which return ture instead of true, which will likely give an error) but
3. onload of the page you overwrite that onclick

So what do you REALLY want?

axl13

ASKER

sorry, what part should be removed...

axl13

ASKER

mplungjan:

My aim is the following:

Users remote access to a site with a bunch of link... At the bottom of the screen is a place to enter a url, so a user can go to another intranet site that is not on the list above

bartvd

Just replace the lines as i suggested, in this lines the wrong part is removed :)

axl13

ASKER

bartvd,

here is my new line:

<input type="button" name="go" value="GO" onclick="submitDirectAccess( this.form );" class="gobutton">

Michel Plungjan

No need for

onclick="submitDirectAccess( this.form );
either

hmm, it does when I tested it. I tested with IE and FF, which browser do you use?

I just tried on FF and I get the following:
