How to create a form in SharePoint that modifies query string

Question

My request is simple.

i want to put a form (a text field let's say) on a sharepoint page, with a submit button.

when i submit. I want the URL to be reposted with the s="textfromtextfield"

say i was on a url http://site/site.aspx?p=x

clicking submit will take me to:

http://site/site.aspx?p=x&s="textfromtextfield"

Answer 1

More than likely you want to open the page in SharePoint Designer and add/play with form actions. Check this page for details (rather than attempt to communicate it step by step):

FYI. SharePoint Designer is now free for download from Microsoft.

If you have never edited a form in SharePoint Designer, this may help:
