OnClick: Act like hyperlink 3

[BoulderBum]

This one should be easy (I think) but googling OnClick and link/hyperlink gets a bunch of stuff about, well, hyperlinks.

Basically I have a cell of a table I want to add an OnClick event handler to. In the event, I simply want to direct the user to a different page (as if they just clicked a hyperlink).

How do I do it?

onClick="document.location.href='new_page.htm';

Thanks, man.

Googling "redirect" would have found it.

Is there any difference between "window.location" and "window.location.href"?

No, href is the default property for the location object.

You can also use a style to make it look like clickable.

<td style="cursor:hand">not-a-link</td>

This lets users know the cell is hot if they hover over it.

spc,

Thanks.

thedrider,

Great tip! Thanks. I actually do that now, but I found out the hard way that "cursorointer" is the way to go for cross-browser compatibility.
