Using A Button As A Link

Both submit and the standard button can be used as links.

These are inserted as desired in the body section of your page.

First, the Submit button:

<form action="http://server.com/somepage.html"> <input type="submit" value="Press Me"> </form>

The label for the button is placed inside the value parameter -- in this case, "Press Me".

When the button is clicked, an HTML page called somepage.html will be retrieved, and loaded into the same window (or frame).

To open the page in a new window, do this:

<form action="http://server.com/somepage.html" target="_blank"> <input type="submit" value="Press Me"> </form>

Incidentally, this only works with http protocol -- it will not work with ftp links such as ftp://server.com/sompage.html.

Now, the Standard button:

<input type="button" label="button1" value="Press Me" onClick="javascript:loadURL('http://server.com/somepage.html')">

Very similar to the Submit button, but uses the OnClick command to call the function loadURL:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function loadURL(pagename) { NewWindow=window.open(pagename) } // End --> </script>

This simply opens a new window whose contents are the URL of the page.

Note that since no parameters are given for the new window, a standard window will open.

Exactly the same as if you used target="_blank" in a standard hyperlink.

To open the new page in the same window (or frame), use the following code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function loadURL(pagename) { location.href = pagename; } // End --> </script>

NOTE:

if you're using more than one button on the same page, to avoid any confusion, make sure you give each button its own unique label.

eg.: button1, button2, etc.
