This is about JavaScript, not markup, so I'm moving it to the client-side scripting forum.

Can you explain what this means? Perhaps if the person types 'google', button B then links to http://google.com... something like that?

First of all you have to make explicit the relationship between what is typed and the address you go to. I can't understand your explanation above.

If the user types X, this goes to http://...<what>... ???

simple open <x.com>......... if some one insert some website url then it open as same which inserted in text.....some example here,

if i put only words like xyzkdfid then it open <xyzkdfid.com>


( just insert the .com word in front of word which is not recognize that this is website or any simple word )

if i put www.google.com it open same as <www.google.com>

if i put http://google.com it open same as <http://google.com>

This is so supremely pointless it's hard to have much enthusiasm (after all, the user can simply type the address in the address bar -- which will be *at least* 5 seconds faster!)

But you can write a javascript program:

Use onclick() event of first button to set a timer for 5 seconds (what for????)

(Can't remember details: look up the javascript stuff on timeout?() )

This calls a function to save the calculated address (calcultating this will be fairly hard, actually), and switch on display of the second button.

Use onclick() even of second button to do a location thingy.

Do you know any javascript? If so, off you go; you can always ask specific questions if you get stuck.

If you don't, well you *might* find a script somewhere that does exactly this, though I doubt it. Otherwise you have to pay someone to write it for you.

Hope this helps.
