So what I want is this:

A code that creates a text field that the viewer can put text into, then a button underneath it to submit that text into another code and redirect to a new url.

Like this

Code:

Enter your user ID here

(Button would be here)

In this particular instance, I want this button to take the user's ID (which they entered) and put it into another code, the post that code as a reply to a forum.

Can someone help me with this please?

What server side language are you using? (PHP / ASP / etc.) Once they submit the form, you'll need a server-side language to "handle" the data. For example, with PHP you could do:

page1.php:

PHP Code:

<form action="page2.php" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="user_name">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Continue" />
</form> 

page2.php:

PHP Code:

<?php
$user_name = $_POST['user_name'];
?>
Your username was <?php echo $user_name; ?>.

Maybe I should be more specific lol.

What I want is essentially a "train". (SPUKO.com - Get Myspace Mobster Adds, Mafia Wars Adds, Vampire Adds for reference)

where the viewer can enter their myspace user ID into the field, click submit, which will ultimately add their link to add them (along with a small image, otherwise their profile avatar) to the train.

I avoid those games like the plague so I'm not too familiar with that particular situation But if you still use a server language to process the inputs, you can insert them into a list (or train?).... A database would also make things MUCH easier, especially if you want to build a list from multiple people's input.

Do a Google search for PHP / MySQL tutorials... that would be a good start.

Thanks a ton, I'll try that.
