Not "weird", a group. On a mailing list you get the list's mail. Welcome to the
list.

to get the value from the input you ned the value property of the input

var form = window.document.MyForm;  // FORM object
var txt   = form.MyInput.value; // Value of text input

Then you need to set up your conditions - unless the text value is actually a
filename - which seems unlikely.

e.g. Test for the text containg A or a

if( txt.toUpperCase().indexOf("A")>-1)
  {
  window.location = "page1.htm"; // send browser to page1.htm - a file in same
folder
  }

Then you can have more conditions and pages
