This might be a very basic question; believe me I found very hard to find the answer to this question on the internet. I have 3 HTML pages stored in my server (Tomcat locally) & i want to open these HTML pages on a button click. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Here is my code,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Online Student Portal</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="">
<h2>Select Your Choice..</h2>
<input type="button" value="Add Students">
<input type="button" value="Add Courses">
<input type="button" value="Student Payments">
</form>
</body>
</html>
This question is related to
javascript
html
The answer is
Try this:-
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Online Student Portal</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="">
<input type="button" value="Add Students" onclick="window.location.href='Students.html';"/>
<input type="button" value="Add Courses" onclick="window.location.href='Courses.html';"/>
<input type="button" value="Student Payments" onclick="window.location.href='Payment.html';"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
on first button add the following.
onclick="window.location.href='Students.html';"
similarly do the rest 2 buttons.
<input type="button" value="Add Students" onclick="window.location.href='Students.html';">
<input type="button" value="Add Courses" onclick="window.location.href='Courses.html';">
<input type="button" value="Student Payments" onclick="window.location.href='Payments.html';">
<body>
"button" value="Add Students" onclick="window.location.href='Students.html';">
<input type="button" value="Add Courses" onclick="window.location.href='Courses.html';">
<input type="button" value="Student Payments" onclick="window.location.href='Payments.html';">
</body>
You should all know this is inline scripting and is not a good practice at all...with that said you should definitively use javascript or jQuery for this type of thing:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Online Student Portal</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="">
<input type="button" id="myButton" value="Add"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
JQuery
var button_my_button = "#myButton";
$(button_my_button).click(function(){
window.location.href='Students.html';
});
Javascript
//get a reference to the element
var myBtn = document.getElementById('myButton');
//add event listener
myBtn.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
window.location.href='Students.html';
});
See comments why avoid inline scripting and also why inline scripting is bad
Having trouble with a button onclick event in jsfiddle?
If so see Onclick event not firing on jsfiddle.net
This example will help you:
<form>
<input type="button" value="Open Window" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com')">
</form>
You can open next page on same page by:
<input type="button" value="Open Window" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com','_self')">
