PHP Form with Javascript (MAYBE!!)

Im having difficulty changing some code on my website to something more suitable to my user needs. I currently use a popup form to submit the id & in staid i want to have a embedded textfield & submit box that does the same thing.

Here is the bits of code i use.

<script language="javascript">

function raidlink() {
	raid_link = prompt('Enter Raid ID:',"");
	location = "5man.php?rlink="+raid_link;
}
</script>

Code (markup):

====The link people click to get the popup submit box========

		<a href=javascript:raidlink()><font color="#00FF00">__Insert Raid ID__</font>

Code (markup):

This is a example link that uses the submitted ID

<a id="link" onmousedown="checkLink(this)" href="http://domain.com/joinraid.php?raidid=<?=$_GET['rlink']?>&suid=259144&serverid=2" style="text-decoration: none">

Code (markup):

Now id like a standard textfield & submit icon something like this..

<form action="5man.php" method="post">

id: <input type="text" id=id name="name" />

<input type="submit" />
</form>

Code (markup):

I just cant seem to figure out how to get what i enter to work with what i already use or find a way to get it work & replace

<?=$_GET['rlink']?>

Code (markup):

if needed with something to do the same job.

Id also like to use my own image for the submit button.

Any help would be fantastic, i am a beginner at this & spend hours doing things that probably takes you 10 minutes lol.

thanks

 

<form action="5man.php" method="get">
ID: <input type="text" name="rlink"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>

Code (markup):

Is this what you want?

 

Ill try that in a bit & let you know what effect it has, kids coming home from school so i better put the tea on ty for quick replay & ill get back laters & let you know how it went

 

Ok, i put the form box where i wanted it & tried but when i enter the ID it dosnt submit as the id still remains in the txtbox & it dosnt complete the links where

<?=$_GET['rlink']?>

Code (markup):

Goes.

the code above should get the ID entered in the submit box & complete the link in replace of the code when the link is clicked. This is the problem i have been having.

 

Does this help ?

<?php echo $_GET['rlink']; ?>

PHP:

 

ive never used echo b4, where am i to put that?

This is my pastebin of the main page
