Help with Button tag

moepower · Aug 1, 2001

I need to create a button that when clicked will redirect the user to a certain URL address. How do I go about include the URL in the <button> tag? Thanks,

you need to put onClick="redirect()" where redirect is the function that sends people to a different page -Greg :-Q

Code:

<html><head></head><body><form>
<input

Code:

onClick="parent.location.href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com';"[/URL]

Code:

 type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Go to Yahoo!&quot;>
</form></body></html>

This will do it. All you have to do is plug in the URL (instead of

http://yahoo.com)

to this onClick="parent.location.href='

http://www.yahoo.com';"

gerrygerry, why "parent"? better use "top" instead..
i mean onClick="top.location='
http://www.yahoo.com';"

sorry i was figuring that b/c it was a button you were redirecting based on what was entered in the form -Greg :-Q

top.location works too, I was just thinking about if the page was loaded in frames... not sure y though
