Xara Designer Pro X / Text Entry Field?

[BerndR]

Hello!

I need a text box as input field.

Then I have to evaluate the field ...

Example:
Text: 112 -> open link to a specific page
Text: 234 -> open another page
and so on ...

Is that possible ?

Does anyone have an example for me?

Best Greetings

Bernd

Welcome to TalkGraphics

Does this question relate to web design? And if yes, I will move this to the web design chat forum.

OK. If I enter the words, Chickens, then I will go to a new page called Chickens?

[BerndR]

Nearly :-)

Enter 123 = MyPageXYZ
Enter 223 = Page223
Enter 339 = NewInfo339

Got it. Just link the text to the page.

Visitor clicks 123. Link takes visitor to MyPageXYZ.

You can also have a sub-menu for a Navigation Bar. The sub-menu can have a list of all the pages in that category.

I think BerndR want a single cell that visitors type in, not a drop down box. As in 'go to page:'

Maybe a SEARCH box? https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...460#post512460

I Need a TextBox where someone type in a number...
Not a DropDown List or something else...
Only a TextBox as Input Field and then go forward with the Number to a Fix Link...
See the first note....

I haven't tested but this is a PHP solution(you will need to add the .php extension to your page name) going by your last example paste this code in the head section(placeholder > html(head)) of your page.

<php?
if(isset($_GET['page']) {
$page = $_GET['page'];

if($page == '123') {
$page = 'MyPageXYZ';
}
if($page == '223') {
$page = 'Page' . $page;
}
if($page == '339') {
$page = 'NewInfo' . $page;
}

header('Location: {$page}.htm');
}
?> 

Create a rectangle where you want the input to show and go to placeholder > html(body) and paste the following

<form method="get">
<input type='text' name='page'>
</form>

If PHP doesn't suit there is likely a JS option but I don't know it off hand, I'd have to look it up.
