| Redirection Manic's redirection script gives you the ability to send users to a different URL based on the data they submit in a form. There are two main ways in which redirect is used: Demo and Sample code
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/cgi-t/redirect"> <SELECT NAME=url> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.netscape.com">Go To Netscape <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.com">Go to Yahoo! <OPTION VALUE="http://www.infoseek.com">Go to Infoseek </SELECT> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=" Go! "> </FORM> 2. As a series of buttons: (try it!) with code like this: <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/cgi-t/redirect"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="http://www.netscape.com" VALUE="Go to Netscape"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="http://www.yahoo.com" VALUE="Go to Yahoo!"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="http://www.infoseek.com" VALUE="Go to Infoseek"> </FORM> Keep in mind that redirect uses any input that looks like a URL (either a name or a value). You can use this behavior to your creative advantage, and redirect someone based on check boxes, form input, etc. Make sure that you provide fully qualified URLs (i.e. http://machine.name/file.name). |
