He wanted a button - not a link, and not a link that looks like a button, but an actual button. Smile

He wanted a button, but his assignment is to link two web pages. His interpretation of the task at hand was incorrect, hence why I felt the need to set the record straight before another person starting adding garbage code to the web Wink

Ok, you want a form that links to another page? sure...

<?php
if(isset($_POST['target'])) 
    header('Location:'.$_POST['target']);
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd&q uot;>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-au">
<title>Google Page Jump</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function pageJump(id) {
	var form, targURL;
	form = document.getElementById(id);
	targURL = form.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value;
	window.location = targURL;
	return false;
}
</script>
<style type="text/css"
</head>
<body>
	<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" id="pJump" onsubmit="return pageJump('pJump');" >
		<fieldset>
			<legend>Google Jump</legend>
			<input type="hidden" name="target" value="http://google.com/">
			<input type="submit" value="Go to Google">
		</fieldset>
	</form>
</body>
</html>

That page requires a PHP server to function correctly, but it will work in every browser ever made. Change the input type="hidden" to type="text" and suddenly the user can enter in the address they want to visit. Hoorah. Neutral

Norbie: Event handlers do not require the javascript: protocol. In fact, the javascript: protocol was never part of a formal standard and as such is merely a "hack that still works".
You should be attaching events using DOM2 methods. Have a search on 'unobtrusive scripting' if you want more details Smile
