You beat me to it!  I was trying to get submitting via enter to work.  
But this is how it is done with a button:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Simple Redirect</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="myform">URL:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="url" VALUE=""> 
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="GO" onClick="window.location = 
myform.url.value">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
