I have a form like this:
<form action="http://localhost/test"> <input type="text" name="keywords"> <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form>
If I type a value, let’s say: ‘hello’ in the text input field and submit the form, the URL looks like: http://localhost/test/?keywords=hello
.
I want the value to get appended to the action path. So basically, after the form submission the URL should look like:
http://localhost/test/hello

You can use onsubmit
attribute and set the action inside a function for example:
<form id="your_form" onsubmit="yourFunction()"> <input type="text" name="keywords"> <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form> function yourFunction(){ var action_src = "http://localhost/test/" + document.getElementsByName("keywords")[0].value; var your_form = document.getElementById('your_form'); your_form.action = action_src ; }
