Name: <input type="text" id="myText" >
<button onclick="myFunction()">check tracking</button>

And DHL making it adding code tu url for example: https://nolp.dhl.de/nextt-online-public/en/search?piececode= and plus tracking codehere. The demo url is this: https://nolp.dhl.de/nextt-online-public/en/search?piececode=48484848484848484

Here is Javascript:

function myFunction() {
var inputed_code = document.getElementById("myText").value ;
var dhlurl = "https://nolp.dhl.de/nextt-online-public/en/search?piececode="
var new_url = dhlurl + inputed_code ;

That's because you're using "new_url", which is a literal strting, instead of new_url, the variable

function myFunction() {
var inputed_code = document.getElementById("myText").value ;
var dhlurl = "https://nolp.dhl.de/nextt-online-public/en/search?piececode="
var new_url = dhlurl + inputed_code ;
window.open(new_url, "_blank");

}
