[Javascript] Dynamically generate link from text being typed in textbox?

[David Yee]

You're correct Anthony.  One problem I didn't foresee before I asked the
question was the reloading of data already typed into the other boxes once
the link is clicked.  So basically the link would need to contain ALL the
data from the other fields on the form.  So I think I'll have to do it the
hard way- have two separate forms with two submit buttons.  One button will
POST to the same page (a PHP script) and write a bunch of hidden inputs
while the other button will POST to the other PHP script.

I would still be interested in a dynamic href builder example if anyone has
one.  Thanks!

David
