Open Web Page Based on Text Field Value

[schaffaj]

I would like to open a web page based on the value of a text field.  How do I link the value of the text field to a command that will open the web page?

For example the Text Field value is:  8T-EXT

and the web page I want to open when a button is pressed is:  http://hqms/doc.asp?dn=8T-EXT

As you can see the 8T-EXT is something that a person enters into the form and is what's needed to open the web page.  The other text in the web page link is always the same.

Thanks

Hi,

In the click event of the button place the following JavaScript:

if (TextField1.rawValue !== null) {
     var vURL = "http://hqms/doc.asp?dn=" + TextField1.rawValue; 
     app.launchURL(vURL, true);
}
else {
     app.alert("Dear user, please put a code in the text field. Thank you!"); 
}

You will need to change the object references to suit your form.
