First of all, I can't use the action='' attribute. That's why I use on submit.

Here my code:

<form class="search" role="search" method="get" onsubmit="window.location.href='home.php?m=search&q='; return false;">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Rechercher..." name="s">
</form>

How can I get my input content after my onsubmit url ?

Can jQuery could get this content and put it in this address ? How do do this ?

Thanks.

  • @JJPA ask him not me. I'm just staring at the problem thinking the only solution is to use an AJAX call. I think with the way he has it now the form doesn't get submitted to where he wants, he is just redirecting there. – 13ruce1337 May 04 '14 at 13:35
  • For the record, if the form doesn't have an action, it uses the documents address effectively submitting the data to the page itself.

I believe you want 

window.location.href='home.php?m=search&q='+this.s.value; return false

Possibly even 

window.location.href='home.php?m=search&q='+encodeURIComponent(this.s.value); return false

to be sure

To use the form action, you could do

onsubmit="this.action='home.php?m=search'"

and change name="s" to name="q"
