Solved: Question about HTML hyperlinks

cearlp · Oct 2, 2008

Is there a way to have an anchor tag in the definition of a button?
For example, something like this (which doesn't work by the way)

<td align="center"> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Update"> <input name="new" type="button" <a href="script.php"></a> value="New Search"></td>

I am trying to show two buttons, looking alike, one to submit the form and the other to bring up a new form. I can't find any documentation the states where and where not an anchor is allowed and there is probably a prescribed way to do what I want, but I haven't found it on my own, so I am turning to the knowledgeable tech out there. Thanks

Just do this...

HTML:

<form and attributes here><input type="submit" and attributes here></form><form and attributes here><input type="submit" and attributes here></form>

Or just add a javascript onClick function that redirects.

In <head>:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect() {
window.location="URL";
}
</script>

in <body>:

Code:

<input type="button" value="whatever" onClick="redirect()">

Thanks lumentec,
I tried the two form method you suggested but couldn't get it to work. I was in a table within a form and couldn't get another form to work at the point. I did use your script suggestion and it worked exactly as I wanted. Thanks again!!
