I'm in a bit of a pickle here, and I'm getting very frustrated.

what I'm looking for is an HTML form in which a user can enter data (textbox). But the data they enter when submitted should go directly to URL.

eg. they enter "haha" in the textbox, hit submit and it should send them to haha.html

If someone knows the answer to do this, it would be greatly appreciated

You'll probably need to use some sort of scripting language for that.

I.E. With PHP you could set it up so the data entered into the text box is set as a variable once you submit it.
Then you can redirect them to: $variable.html

You could also use javascript i suppose, im not too acquainted with that though so I can't really tell you how to do it off the top of my head.
