How to make a button go somewhere?

[briandunning]

This is a really easy one - but for some reason I've gone into brainlock and can't make it work.

I have an <input type="button"> inside of an irrelevant form. I just want to make that button navigate to "destination.html" when it's clicked, regardless of the form.

Someone please rescue me from brainlock...

<form action="http://www.google.com/" method="get">
<input type="submit" value="Google" />
</form>

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. The form is already being used for something else, so I have to make this button work without using the form.

I thought I always used to do it like this, but it's not working:

<input type="button" value="Go here" onClick="destination.html">

Oops. Sorry about that. The way I previously provided is the best way to use mainly because it works in browsers that don't support JavaScript — perhaps you could use another form for this and the other for the server-side script (in which is already making use of the action attribute)? If you don't want to do that, you could use the JavaScript way:<form action="#">
<input type="button" value="Google" onclick="location='http://www.google.com/';" />
</form>

That's the one I was looking for!!

Thanks - brain unlocked. :) :)
