There are few zip numbers. These numbers should be searchable and selectable. When select the number redirect to another page. How can do this?

Ok, just a reminder what the #Teachers' Lounge is for:

> [@About the Teachers' Lounge category](http://community.thunkable.com/t/about-the-teachers-lounge-category/4139):
>
> This is a safe space for teachers who are using Thunkable in the classroom to share lesson plans, lecture slides, plans for assessment, pedagogical strategies inspired by @domhnallohanlon @lucatunes and @barreeeiroo

You might want to post in #Questions about Thunkable instead?

Can easily be done using simple blocks

1. store the zip numbers in a database along with their associated links to the pages (either thunkable data sources, local DB or airtable) since you say there are only a few.
2. create a text input box and a button, and a webview page on the design interface
3. In the “when the button is press” event block, read the text input, then use a loop to cycle through your zip number data, use if statement to compare.
4. if there is match, then read the link according to the zip and direct it to the wanted webpage using the webview block.
5. finally when it works, design you own layout/design properly

That’s it.

I’m afraid you have to start to put in those suggested blocks and do it yourself. Don’t take the fun away from learning it yourself. . 😁
