S-Control User Input

I am trying to have the user input a few values in an S-Control, and then have those values passed to another S-Control for processing.  I am able to use URLFOR to go from one S-Control to another, but it doesn't seem to work when used from a form submit button.  For example, the following works:

<a href="{!URLFOR($SControl.Employee_Finder_Results)}">test</a>

but this doesn't:

<form name="input" action="{!URLFOR($SControl.Employee_Finder_Results)}" method="get">
Name:
<input type="text" name="user">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Is there some other recommended way to take user input?  The parameter passing example in the Cookbook assume that you already know what the parameters you want to pass are.

If I were you I'd dynamically cobble together the URL in an a href based on the content of those input fields rather than trying to send them with a form submit.

Try this code
on click of Submit button call one function and add this code in it..
 
document.location="/servlet/servlet.Integration?lid=<receiving scontrolid>&ic=1 &parmName="+userName+
"&parmAddress="+userAddress"";
try this code in receiving scontrol
 
<html>
<head>
<script src="/soap/ajax/9.0/connection.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function main()
{
document.write("<input type=number id=b></input>");
document.write("<input type=number id=c></input>");
function getQueryStringValue(name) {
var query = location.search.substring(1);
var pairs = query.split("&");
for(var i = 0; i < pairs.length; i++) {
var pos = pairs[i].indexOf('=');
alert(pos);
if (pos == -1) continue;
var argname = pairs[i].substring(0,pos);
alert(argname);
var value = pairs[i].substring(pos+1);
alert(value);
if (argname == name) return unescape(value);
}
return "";
}
document.getElementById('b').value=getQueryStringValue("parmName");
document.getElementById('c').value=getQueryStringValue("parmAddress");
}
main();
</script>
</head>
</html>

Try this code in user input passing S control

document.write("<a href='' onClick=callscontrol()> <br>Link</a>");
function callscontrol()
{
userName=document.getElementById('name').value;
userAddress=document.getElementById('address').value;
document.location="/servlet/servlet.Integration?lid=<id>&ic=1 &parmName="+userName+
"&parmAddress="+userAddress"";
}

Yes, thank you! That worked great.
