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

[Anthony E.]

I may be wrong, but my impression was that he wanted
to dynamically change the 'href' attribute of a link
on the same page as a form (the value for the dynamic
'href' coming from an input field text box in a
form)...all without reloading the page.
