redirect the user to another page

HI every one


I need to write a javascript code inside the HTMl that on click on any button. it will redirect the user to another page?
Thanks Alot

Your request is unclear. Do you want to redirect in addition to some other action? Do you want the same action on any button in a page?

[Reham]

if you have one page "default.html" it contain a button
I want on the click event of that button to be redirect to another page "search.aspx" using java script code in the click event


Thanks

Remember this will fail on browsers without JS:

<input type="button" name="redirectbutton" value="Click Me" onclick="document.location = 'search.aspx'>

You might also want to check out information on the Location object:

<input type="button" name="redirectbutton" value="Click Me" onclick="document.location = 'search.aspx'>Hey, that's pretty funny! You give the guy an IE-only solution (document.location), and then direct him to the Netscape documentation (window.location).

Better yet, the following will work without JavaScript :

<form action="search.aspx">
<div><input type="submit" value="Search"></div>
</form>

or

<a href="search.aspc" title="Search"><img src="some.png" alt="Search"></a>


Adam, be careful there. The example you gave employs the location property of the document object but you have directed us to information about the location object. The two are not entirely the same. The property was depricated some time in the past century and you will note that it does not appear in the documentation that you cite (http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/jsref/doc1.htm#1048486). We're supposed to be use instead window.location.

You're right Charles, I didn't realise document.location was deprecated. Thanks for the advice.
