One small help in javascript

I have a form

<form action="search1.php" method="post" name="q">
<table align="center"><tr><td>Search for <strong>RINGTONES</strong>:</td><td>
<input name="artist" type="text" value="Search i.e Rihanna" size="10" maxlength="100" onclick="if(this.value=='Search i.e Rihanna') this.value='';" class="input" style="width:185px; background-color:#fae9f2; border: solid #ffcce7 1px; font-size: 12pt;"></td><td>
<input type="submit" name="search" id="search2" value='Search!'>
</td></tr></table>
</form>

Now , i want to change form action page while submitting as

<form action="search1.php?keywords=<some value>" method="post" name="q">

where <some value> is input value of field artist from the form

can anyone help me to sort it out ?

Thanks in advance

 

You don't need Javascript for that. You can do that with pure HTML:

<form action="search1.php" method="get" name="q">
<!-- .... -->
<input name="keywords" type="text" .... />

HTML:

(Note the method = GET, and the field name = keywords.

 

No , My question was not the method of getting values on next page, I want to change url structure of next page based on user input,

That means a user inputs test keyword in this form

<form action="search.php" method="get" name="q">
<!-- .... -->
<input name="keywords" type="text" .... />

My next page url should be search.php?keywords=test not search.php

 

rofl.

You only need to do what you do if you want to send post & dynamic get variables, otherwise just use nico's code and it will work,

Lolz, Am i too complicated in my question.

I do not want to post values , I want to change action url structure on submit button

 

That's what my frikkin code does... Try it and you'll see.

 

No, but too lazy to even try the code people provide you.
