Dynamic URL from user input to search

Question

What I am trying to accomplish: When a user inputs dates, number of adults ect it would dynamically add the info via javascript to the URL within the url variables. This is what I have so far: ( I am a Noob but trying to make it work )

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
$('#submit').click(function() {
        $('#button').click(function(e) {
                var checkInDate = document.getElementById('checkInDate').value;
                        var checkInMonthYear = document.getElementById('checkInMonthYear').value;
                        var checkOutDate = document.getElementById('checkOutDate').value;
                        var checkOutMonthYear = document.getElementById('checkOutMonthYear').value;
                        var numberOfAdults = document.getElementById('numberOfAdults').value;
                        var rateCode = document.getElementById('rateCode').value
                window.location.replace("http://www.Link.com/redirect?path=hd&brandCode=cv&localeCode=en&regionCode=1&hotelCode=DISCV&checkInDate=27&checkInMonthYear=002016&checkOutDate=28&checkOutMonthYear=002016&numberOfAdults=2&rateCode=11223");

    window.location = url;
});

});

Ok, so first things first: You probably don't need to do this at all. If you create a form and add a name attribute to each input, then the submission automatically creates the URL for you. Fixed value fields can be set to type="hidden".

For this to work you need to use the "GET" method.

<form action="http://www.Link.com/redirect" method="GET">
  <input type="hidden" name="path" value="hd"><br>
  <input type="hidden" name="brandCode" value="cv"><br>
  <input type="hidden" name="localeCode" value="en"><br>
  <input type="hidden" name="regionCode" value="1"><br>
  <input type="hidden" name="hotelCode" value="DISCV"><br>
  <input type="text" name="checkInDate"><br>
  <input type="text" name="checkInMonthYear"><br>
  <input type="text" name="checkOutDate"><br>
  <input type="text" name="checkOutMonthYear"><br>
  <input type="text" name="numberOfAdults"><br>
  <input type="text" name="rateCode"><br>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

Clicking "Submit" changes the URL to the desired one.

If this does not suit your needs, you can replace parameters in the URL by following the advice in this SO answer: Answer Link

This is much better than trying to re-implement URL manipulation on your own.
