I've been trying to modify the form's ACTION= value based on the value of a checked checkbox.

What I want it to do is have the value of numerous checkboxes being a url, of say Google's search among one, and a text box that will send the query of the text box value to the value of the url that is checked using the GET method.

so far everthing I've tried that almost worked seemed to send the textbox value and checkbox value as parameters to the locallly saved page.

any suggestions. thanks.

Don't use a submit button just have an ordinary button. When its onclick handler is called check which checkbox is selected and then set the form's action property before calling the form's submit method.

Well im sort of in the same situation...
I have a form in which you can ask a question. And i want the visitor the be able to select to who he sends the question. I tried a <select multiple> first but that didn't work so i tried check boxes but I just cant get it right. Can somebody help me? I have 5 check boxes with a value which is a email address. (You really cant do this with buttons, because with only five emails you have 31 possibilities.

Thanks in advance.

Found it out :D

[i]
<script type="text/javascript">
function check()
{
address=document.QuestionForm.address
txt=""
for (i=0;i<address.length;++ i)
{
if (address[i].checked)
{
txt=txt + address.value + " "
}
}
document.QuestionForm.action = "mailto:" + txt;
}
</script>
