jQuery Forum

I am new to this forum. The goal is to create a text box and eventually insert the data into a URL.

For example: We need to create a text box and have a button that when clicked takes the data in the text field and inserts it into the "variable" part of this URL (then takes you to the URL site):

https://forexample.com/storefront/search.do;jsessionid=CD66CBFCC5658D6C9327AA269764EBB2?searchType=keyword&keyword="variable"

I wrote this jQuery:

1. $("button").click(function() {
2. var variable = $("#textbox").val();
3. window.location.replace("url&" + variable);
4. })

Not sure how to implement on Joomla 3.0 or if more needs to be done, any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
