using a button as a link

davikokar · Oct 5, 2005

hallo,
I would like to use a button to download a pdf, instead of a link. How can I do it? thanks

one way (using javascript):

Code:

<input type="button" onclick="window.location='myfile.pdf';" value="Get My PDF" />

To stay with the same structure,

Code:

<input type="button" onclick="window.open('myfile.pdf', '_blank');" value="Get My PDF" />

I however, would rather use a regular anchor and style it so it would look like a button.
