javascript getting the value of a text box

Question

I have this text box here... ``` ``` and I also have this submit ``` ``` what I am trying to do is add whatever is in the text box in my ``` onclick="location.href='http://www.website.com/search/';" ``` so it would look like this.. ``` onclick="location.href='http://www.website.com/search/what ever the user searches';" ``` how would I go about doing this, I have been googling my little heart out.

Accepted Answer

This should work:

```
onclick="location.href='http://www.website.com/search/'+document.getElementById('search').value;"
```

But I wouldn't ever write that in one of my project as writing script directly on tags is a bad practice.
