lt a href  1 html  gt  lt input type  text  class  button active  value  1  gt  lt  a gt   lt a href  2 html  gt  lt input type  text  class  button  value  2  gt  lt  a gt   lt a href  3 html  gt  lt input type  text  class  button  value  3  gt  lt  a gt    Try that  Unless you truly need to stick with the type as submit  then what I provided should work  If you are going to stick with submit  then everything mentioned above is correct  it makes no sense

You can do do it  The input type submit should be inside of a form  Then all you have to do is write the link you want to redirect to inside the action attribute that is inside the form tag

I agree with Quentin  It doesn t make sense as to why you want to do it like that  It s part of the Semantic Web concept  You have to plan out the objects of your web site for future integration expansion  Another web app or web site cannot interact with your content if it doesn t follow the proper use-case   IE and Firefox are two different beasts  There are a lot of things that IE allows that Firefox and other standards-aware browsers reject   If you re trying to create buttons without actually submitting data then use a combination of DIV CSS

It doesn t work because it doesn t make sense  so little sense that HTML 5 explicitly forbids it    To fix it  decide if you want a link or a submit button and use whichever one you actually want  Hint  You don t have a form  so a submit button is nonsense

Place the link location in the action    of a wrapping form tag    Your first link would be    lt form action  1 html  gt       lt input type  submit  class  button active  value  1  gt   lt  form gt

Why would you want to put a submit button inside an anchor   You are either trying to submit a form or go to a different page   Which one is it    Either submit the form     lt input type  submit  class  button active  value  1    gt    Or go to another page     lt input type  button  class  button active  onclick  location href  1 html      gt
