two box form one radio button onclick javascript

what I am trying to do is have someone insert something into one box and then insert something else into another box and then it loads it the address bar.. for example right now it will load mysite.com/page.php?id=thing

What I want to accomplish is where on the one radio button it will take the values of both boxes to equals mysite.com/page.php?id=thing&id2=otherthing

Heres what i have tried..

<script type="text/javascript">
function dosearch() {
var sf=document.searchform;
for (i=sf.sengines.length-1; i > -1; i--) {
if (sf.sengines[i].checked) {
var submitto = sf.sengines[i].value + escape(sf.searchterms.value);
// i added this \/
var submitto = sf.sengines.value + sf.sengines2.value escape(sf.searchterms.value);
}
}
window.location.href = submitto;
return false;
}
</script>


<form name="searchform" onSubmit="return dosearch();">
  Search By  <input type="text" name="searchterms"autocomplete='off' placeholder="thing">
id<input name="sengines" type="radio" value="mysite.com/page.php?id="  onclick="dosearch()" >
something else<input name="sengines" type="radio" value="mysite.com/page.php?jack=" onclick="dosearch()">

<input type="text" name="somethingelse3"autocomplete='off' > something else 3 <input name="sengines" type="radio" value="mysite.com/page.php?jill="dosearch()"> 

<input type="text" name="otherthing" autocomplete='off' placeholder="otherthing"> other thing<input name="sengines2" type="radio" value="mysite.com/page.php?id=thing&id2=otherthing=" onclick="dosearch()">

</form>

I ended up finding a better way to go about it.

<script>
  function submitvalues(){
      var item1 = document.getElementById('search1');
      var sch1ear= document.getElementById('search2');
    //  alert(user.value+pass.value);
    window.location.href = 'http://mysite.com/listing/somepage.php?search1=' + searchvalue.value+'&search2='+searchvalue2.value;
  }
</script>



  Search By  <input type="text" name="searchvalue1" id="searchvalue1" autocomplete='off' placeholder="item">

item2 #<input name="radio" type="radio" value=""  onClick="submitvalues();" >



item 2 <input name="radio" type="radio" value="" onclick="submitvalue2();">

This is a rough draft but this is a idea of what I used... It may be a bit off.

 

This is another STUNNING example of "JS for nothing"... there is NO reason to be using radio buttons or scripting on something so simple other than a complete and utter ignorance of how forms work, how HTML works, or even the proper markup for a form. (see your lack of labels and fieldsets)

<form action="/page.php" id="multiSearch" method="get">
	<fieldset>
		<label for="multiSearch_terms">Search For:</label>
		<input type="text" name="searchterms" id="multiSearch_terms" />
	</fieldset>
	<fieldset class="submits">
		<legend>Search By:</legend>
		<input type="submit" name="searchBy" value="id" />
		<input type="submit" name="searchBy" value="Something Else" />
		<input type="submit" name="searchBy" value="Something Else 3" />
		<input type="submit" name="searchBy" value="Other Thing" />
	</fieldset>
</form>

Code (markup):

Try taking a look at what clicking on those different submit sharing the same name spits out for a URI... There's a reason 90%+ of the time someone says "Use JavaScript!" you probably shouldn't. Remember the unwritten rule of javascript -- if you can't make it work without scripting FIRST, you likely have no business adding scripting to it! This is quadruply important for things like FORMS since there are users who don't trust scripting and browse with it disabled and/or blocked ON PURPOSE. You shouldn't alienate those users with scripttardery that you don't need!

JS for nothing and your scripts for free, that ain't working, that's NOT how you do it.

 

Sorry I'm not sure what your getting at. Also forgot a second text input box.

 

My point was that if you want the form to submit when a radio button is clicked, DON'T USE RADIO BUTTONS -- you want a submit, USE A SUBMIT.

IF you entered "test" in the input[text] clicked on the first submit in my example, it would submit the form to:
/page.php?searchTerms=text&searchBy=id

If you clicked on the second submit:
/page.php?searchTerms=text&searchBy=Something%20Else

You don't need javascript just to do what you are asking for... Likewise I saw no reason to have those separate text inputs since you're not using them the same time as the others.

You are using JavaScript for no legitimate reason other than pissing on your accessibility!

 

Thank you for explaining. I understand what you are saying with the submit button. I guess the best way to put it is the person who wanted the item designed was looking to save a few extra seconds out of the day then a few extra minutes out the month and a few more minutes out of the year. Thats why we went with the onlcick radio button.

 

Sorry that was my mistake. You can use one text field or you can use two text fields at once. You have two inputs. One for just colors for example, then the other is for shapes. So you would have one radio button to search for colors. Or you could use both text inputs for colors and shapes, etc. Yea I guess I could use buttons instead of radio buttons.. My biggest thing from the beginning was just combining the too.

 

If you are submitting for multiple textareas, how are you using more than one radio button at a time? Doesn't make any sense.

 

Sorry for my english. I am using one radio button. I give them the option to use more than text box input.

 

Any suggestions on how to explode? I can't do anything on the amount of characters because they may change

 

Thank you. I really do appreciate the effort. However some things do have more than one space. With the way how it was originally built and they setup the data that would not bring up the correct results.

 

Its really not that big of a problem.. It was built weeks ago I just finally decided to reply. But if you are interested..

First box ( blue white ) <- color combinations , and yes there are made up colors For example Blue-eddie
Second box ( triangle) or (triangle square) Or made up shapes..

The only way I honesty can see around this is if they matched off of a database that was already saved..
