Sending HTML form to address bar

Question

Is it possible to generate a form in html that allows the text that's input to be sent to the address bar?

Answer 1

Sure is, you just make sure the forms METHOD is set to GET:

<form id="myForm" method="GET">
//Form Stuff
</form>

Answer 2

Without any testing and going off the top of my head, this should do the trick (messily):

<form onsubmit="window.location = document.getElementById('addressfield').value; return false;">
   <input type="text" id="addressfield" />
</form>
