is it possible to use a button as an hyperlink in html. and it should be working for all the browsers?
If you want to separate content (html) from behaviour (JavaScript), as oppose to what Darrel suggested I would use:
<form action="http://www.google.com">
<input type="button" value="go to goole" />
</form>
Even thought this is not a form proper, it will work fine, and degrade gracefully when JS is disabled.
Not really a hyperlink per se but you can take the user elsewhere with a button.
<input type="button" value="Go To Google" onclick="window.location='http://google.com'" />
As a third alternative to the ones suggested here, you could use CSS to style a hyperlink to look like a button. If it works more like a link (goes somewhere, not performs an action), it may be better this way - for example, as far as I know, search engines may not always submit forms, but they would follow a link.
<form action="file1.php" method="get">
<button type="submit">Submit</button><br>
<button type="submit" formaction="file2.php">Submit to another page</button>
</form>

I need to disable double click on a button just using HTML. Is there any way to do it (without using javascript/jquery) ?
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Save</button>
Since HTML can't get the event of clicking sadly it's only possible with JS or such things that can find out click events.
Sadly you will be forced to use JavaScript to do this.
It's easy as that :
<form ...>
<input ...>
<button ... onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='Submitting...'; this.form.submit();">
</form>
I have the form below ..
<form name="myForm" novalidate>
<label for="test_element">Test</label>
<input required id="test_element" type="text" ng-model="ctrl.test">
<button ng-click="ctrl.save(myForm.$valid)">
Submit
</button>
</form>
I'm using the Dynamic Assessment Plugin from here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dynamic-assessment-plugin/aahpafpbmmgednbflpalchnlbicaeppi
The tool doesn't give a great example of how to fix the error:
Submit buttons and image buttons allow users to explicitly request submission of the form and to control the change of context. Forms that are submitted by other mechanisms might change the user's context before they are ready, causing frustration or confusion.
What would be the best way?
I dont want to change <button> -> <input type="submit"> since there's angularjs code behind the scenes handling the submit
I have read a little bit about ng-submit, here's the link.
I think for that we can make it something like this:
<form ng-submit="ctrl.save()">
<input type="text" ng-model="ctrl.test">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
I hope that documentation can help you :D
There's no obligation of having one submit button inside a form.
You can view an example in the documentation stating:
Finally, to make the form submittable we use the button element
with no input[type=submit] button.
You can also perfectly have no button at all, for instance a form consisting only in checkboxes.
<button type="submit" ng-click="ctrl.save(myForm.$valid)">
Submit
</button>
hello all a quick question..
i am building a static html page, and would like to like one page to another using a button, now using a link is the easier option but i would like the effect of a button without any javascript going off..
so i would like to use a input button but it to link to a html page like an tag can href.
i was thinking along the lines of this example but without the js..
<form>
<input type="button" value="Read more" class="button" onclick="window.location.href='testimonials.html'">
</form>
this doesnt work but i am looking for this functionality?? is it possible?
Just submit the form to the URL.
<form action="testimonials.html">
<input type="submit" value="Read more">
</form>
… but buttons are supposed to do stuff. Links go places. Don't send people mixed messages, use a link.
you've misspelled "onclick" :)
EDIT: if you want to avoid javascript, you can create a button-like link with CSS:
Read More
Try this code:
<form>
<input type="button" value="Read more" class="button" onlick="window.location='testimonials.html'">
</form>
I have a button on an html page declared like so:
<button type="submit" name="action" value="sort">SAVE CHANGES</button>
My company demands we support older versions of IE, and in versions 8 and lower when the user goes to submit the form, it passes the text between the 2 button tags. So i need to use an input tag instead. Can someone help me figure out how to create an input tag where the type=submit, the name=action and the value=sort, but hte text on the button says 'SAVE CHANGES'.
Thanks!
Like this:
<input type="submit" name="action" value="SAVE CHANGES" />
However if the value="sort" is important to you perhaps you could move it to an input type="hidden" element.
An option is to use an image button with the text SAVE CHANGES on it.
<input type="image" src="save_changes.png" name="action" value="sort" />
Don't give your submit button a name, make a hidden field with the name and value you want.
<button type="submit">SAVE CHANGES</button>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="sort" />
So, when the form is submitted, the value "action=sort" will be submitted.
The requirements seem to exclude solutions other than using <input type=image>, which has serious problems; in particular, the coordinates of the clicked location are transmitted, and probably a revision of the requirements will therefore exclude this, too.
Using JavaScript, you could tweak the data before it gets sent, or maybe use an image with an onclick handler that turns it to a button in a sense.
Normally, problems like this should be solved by modifying the server-side code. But if you have some reason why the field name (in the submitted data) must be different from the text in the button, then there does not seem to be any solution, with the given conditions.
I have buttons on a page that look like:
<p>
<a href="view.php">
<input type="button" name="view" value="View Database" />
</a>
</p>
IE does not support these buttons or multiple buttons I am not sure which one. Does anyone know how to fix this to work with IE?
Embedding a button within an <a> tag is not normally done, and really doesn't make any sense. If you want your link to look like a button, then just use the <input> tag with some script on the onclick event, or use css to make your link look button-ish (start by using display:block or display:inline-block);
You can't put an input into the tag, instead, you can create a form, and change your button to a submit one. Then you can choose the target url in the form, like this:
<form action="view.php">
<input type="submit" name="view" value="View Database" />
</form>
I would recommend this over using javascript, because buttons are not designed for navigating a site. If you want to submit information, which is what they are used for, you won't be able to do it so cleanly using javascript.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? If you want a custom button to redirect to view.php, you can use onclick:
<input type="button" name="view" value="View Database" onclick="window.location.href='view.php';" />
or something similar.
<input type="button"
onclick="javascript:document.location='view.php';"
value="View Database"/>
Try with this ugly monster:
<input type="button" name="view" value="View Database" onclick="javascript:window.location='view.php'"/>
