if you go to http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit....=tryhtml_basic in another tab or window it will be easier to understand what im trying to ask

(Toggle Plain Text)

<html>
<body>
<b>Address:</b>
<input type="text" name="URL">
<input type="button" value="Enter">
</form>
</body>
</html>

thats the code i have for what i want, its very simple.
if you go to the link and paste the code in the box, it will show you what it looks like
i want someone to be able to enter in the address of a website in there and when they hit "enter" it goes
if u dont understand what im asking then say that im not specific enough, but i think its self explanitory

You need a javascript jump menu. Google for that, and there's one built into dreamweaver if you have that

You mean a page within a page? Try an IFRAME

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this code uses javascript to achieve what I think you're describing. Basically, the person enters a URL into the text box, clicks on Enter, and then the window travels to that particular URL.

(Toggle Plain Text)

<html>
	<body>
		<b>Address:</b>
		<input type="text" name="address">
		<input type="button" value="Enter" onClick="location.href=address.value">
	</body>
</html>

Hope this helps.

That's the exact same thing I got out of it, but I have a question. Why would you want to do this?
