Button Link Problem

Masada · Jun 24, 2001

I am having troubling understanding buttons which can be used as links. I have included my HTML page (with the scripts) underneath. The problem is that they work 100% fine in Netscape, but Internet Explorer seems to REFRESH itself whenever these buttons are pressed.

******************************

<html>
<head>
<title>My page</title>

<script language="javascript">


function goToURLNews() { window.location = "news.html"; }



function goToURLAlbums() { window.location = "albums/index.html"; }



function goToURLPrerelease() { window.location = "prerelease/index.html"; }



function goToURLRDates() { window.location = "other/releasedates.html"; }



function goToURLWufam() { window.location = "wufam/index.html"; }



function goToURLCameos() { window.location = "other/cameos.html"; }



function goToURLgallery() { window.location = "imagegallery/imagegallery.html"; }



function goToURLLink() { window.location = "other/links.html"; }

// End -->

Hi Masada,

It's just because you must use button in put and not submit input:

<INPUT TYPE="button" value="Image Gallery" onClick="goToURLgallery()">
instead of:
<INPUT TYPE="submit" value="Image Gallery" onClick="goToURLgallery()">

I think that it will solve your problem.

Hope this helps...
