NEWB To Web Development, How Do I Redirect Users To Another Page Based On Their Responses In a Form?

I am developing, or atleast attempting to, a site for a local school. Students will need to be able to load up the site and then from there get to a specific page based upon which class site they are looking for. I have setup a simple page with a form that has three drop-down-menu questions.

1. Grade
2. Subject
3. Teacher

Based upon their selections in the form, I need to redirect them to the correct URL. I realize I could do this in JavaScript with several if statements. Although, my JavaScript knowledge is very limited and I do not wish to have any popup windows attacking the user. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

 

What is the site/page/form programmed in?

Javascript is typically a poor choice of language to use exclusively for form processing and redirection. Browsers can override a lot of it, and it's completely visible to the end user which makes it a lot more vulnerable to hacking and other attacks than a server side language.

 

As it's for a school, why not try Moodle? It's a CMS (Content Management System) orientated towards education. Let's the focus remain on making content rather than programming.

I appreciate this does not answer your question but steer you in a different direction. To give an actual "answer" we would need to know what server-side scripting options you have available, e.g. PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.

 

Moodle is the goods! Hi Ryan!

Wordpress has a range of this sort of thing now as well... http://themeforest.net/item/lms-responsive-learning-management-system/7867581
