create dynamic link based on text input field

I'm trying to make a text input field where visitors can enter a value and then hit go or submit.

Based on the digit number they would be send to a new page.

For example if they enter 123 and hit submit it would send them to http://www.example.com/page/123

Could anybody please help me get this up and running? Thank you

  • Here we go have fun. just copy the code and save it as html. you don't need php or such. it is way too simple to need a server side code.

        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('#button').click(function(e) {  
        var inputvalue = $("#input").val();
        window.location.replace(" http://www.example.com/page/"+inputvalue);

    });
});
</script> 
</head>
<body>

       <input type="text" value="11" id="input"> 
       <button type="button" id="button">Click Me!</button>
</body>
</html>
