What do you have access to for scripting on the server? PHP/CGI/etc.

 

[guyver01]

none. no server side access.

There might be a simpler way, but you could use php and do it this way..I think this would work, I'm not great with php



<form action="redirect.php" method=post>
pagenum<br><input type=text name="page" size=2><br>
<input type=submit>


***redirect.php***
<?php
$page = $_POST[page];
$url = "http://www.guyver01.com/".$page;

header ("Location: $URL");
?>

You could use JavaScript. I don't want to look up the methods , but it should be on W3C Schools
