JavaScript Goto Box

Here's a form that will take you to another page. The JavaScript approach here only works with Netscape 2.0 or later. (It ought to work with MSIE 3.0 which also claims to support JavaScript, but the MSIE 3.0 beta doesn't buy it for some reason).

By the way, the "classic" way to do this is to use a server-side script, but that requires requires you to write a CGI script to take the form input, parse it, and generate a redirect. The good thing about the server-side script approach is that it works with any browser that supports forms.
