hey there-- i started learning javascript all of yesterday and i am having a hard time with this script i am writing. i want the links to open a particular page while submitting the form that will pass a hidden field. i keep getting the default page, however, not the page i want. here is my script (it is actually an html embedded in a perl script but this is just the former):
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Gaging Station Inventory Database</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function SubmitForm(selectedPage)
{
document.autosubmit.page.value = selectedPage;
document.autosubmit.submit();
}
function openPage(selectedPage)
{
switch(selectedPage) {
case "retrieve":
window.location="http://oregon.usgs.gov/uo/safety/gagehouse/retrieve.pl";
break;
case "docs":
window.location="http://oregon.usgs.gov/uo/safety/gagehouse/docs.pl";
break;
case "update":
window.location="http://oregon.usgs.gov/uo/safety/gagehouse/update.pl";
break;
case "pictures":
window.location="http://oregon.usgs.gov/uo/safety/gagehouse/pictures.pl";
break;
case "home":
window.location="http://oregon.usgs.gov/uo/safety/gagehouse/home.pl";
break;
default:
window.location="http://oregon.usgs.gov/uo/safety/gagehouse/station_home.html";
}
}
