What online site can I use to search for a job?

HTML Job Search

  • Can I use a form/survey on an HTML page to enter data and have the entered code append to the end of a URL that, apart from the variable suffix, remains constant? Going to do my best to explain this with zilch technical vocabulary: Would like users to be able to search for "jobs logged" using a unique Job ID (but have no control on the site on which houses the job info). The jobs are filed consistently as follows: http://blahblahblah/subfolder/LoggedJobs.aspx?ID=1234 http://blahblahblah/subfolder/LoggedJobs.aspx?ID=4567 So, will a input field be able to take whatever text is entered and open the URL with the inputted job number stuck to the end of it? Is there a better option that'll get the same result of having an easy interface to enter a code and be displayed a page relevant to that code?

  • Answer:

    This is what forms are for! An HTML page that looks like this will do what you want, I think. Drop this text into a blank .txt file (replace the URL obviously) and rename the extension to .html, open the file in your webbrowser of choice.<html><head><title>Logged Jobs form</title></head><body><form action="http://blahblahblah/subfolder/LoggedJobs.aspx" method=GET><input type=text name=ID><input type=submit value="Go"></form></body></html>

And if there is a predefined set of values for "ID" then:<form action="http://blahblahblah/subfolder/LoggedJobs.aspx" method="GET"><select name="ID"> <option>1234</option> <option>4567</option></select> <input type="submit" value="Go"></form>
