Try:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function myFunction() {
    location.href = document.myForm.myText.value + '.html';
    return false;
}
//--></SCRIPT>

<FORM NAME="myForm" onSubmit="return myFunction()">
<INPUT NAME="myText" TYPE="TEXT">
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Click Me" onClick="myFunction()">
</FORM>
