Using input text field problem driving me mad (and probably very simple!)

1

I’m currently working on a project where an input field appears (given the variable name of “input”) and this is then used to set as a variable within the multimap web link so that a user can find directions from their house to the place of interest.

I have the following code on a frame:

stop();

var postCode = "";
function openMap()
{
    postCode = input;
getURL("http://www.multimap.com/directions/?qs_1=" + postCode +  "&countryCode_1=GB&qs_2=B98+7YB&countryCode_2=GB&mode=driving&optimizeFor=time&mapData=916,917",blank)
}

On click of a button, the following code is executed:

on(press)
{
openMap();
}

Unfortunately, for some reason I can’t get it to work as when the user types in a postcode (using B97 5HW as an example below) into the text box and presses the “Submit” button, it comes up with http://www.multimap.com/directions/?qs_1=<TEXTFORMAT%20LEADING=2><P%20ALIGN=LEFT><FONT%20FACE=Impact%20SIZE=23%20COLOR=#000000%20LETTERSPACING=0%20KERNING=0>B97%205HW</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>&countryCode_1=GB&qs_2=B98+7YB&countryCode_2=GB&mode=driving&optimizeFor=time&mapData=916,917

Without typing anything into the input text box, this is what comes up when I press submit:

http://www.multimap.com/directions/?qs_1=<p%20align="left"></p>&countryCode_1=GB&qs_2=B98+7YB&countryCode_2=GB&mode=driving&optimizeFor=time&mapData=916,917

Can anyone figure out what may have happened here?

So aggravated and it’s probably such a simple thing I’ve forgotten to do :frowning: Tried rendering the input text box as HTML and not as HTML…makes no difference!

Cheers guys!
