I've a project where I scan a QR code, and it will then automatically print out information based on which code was scanned.
I have the scanner, and a printer. Each QR code is to correspond to a URL. I can get the scanner to fill an input field, and I can get an alert to show the information that was scanned. However, whenever I try to assign the URL it simply appends the information to the current URL, instead of replacing it.
I need it to replace the current URL. Does anyone know why it is doing this, and how to fix it?
<html>
<head><title>QR Printing</title></head>
<body onload="document.myform.mytextfield.focus();">
<form name="myform">
<input type="text" name="mytextfield" onchange="checkForm()">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function checkForm() {
var field1 = document.forms['myform'].elements['mytextfield'].value;
alert(field1);
window.location.assign(field1);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
You want:
add return false; after window.location.assign(field1);
Looks like the form is submitting. Cancel it.
