JavaScript load a page on button click

Question

I am trying to do a very simple task here  I would like to be able to click a button on a page and have it take me to another page  I have tried window location href  and a bunch of other things and it does nothing  I have tried different platforms and different browsers  all with the same result    I know that it can call a function but I just cannot get the new page to load  Also this is all in my local file system and both pages live at the same level  but I have also tried to load an external page like www apple com    Any thoughts   Thanks Patrick

The answers here work to open the page in the same browser window/tab.

However, I wanted the page to open in a new window/tab when they click a button. (tab/window decision depends on the user's browser setting)

So here is how it worked to open the page in new tab/window:

<button type="button" onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com/', '_blank');">View Example Page</button>

It doesn't have to be a button, you can use anywhere. Notice the _blank that is used to open in new tab/window.

Just window location    http   wherever you wanna go com    or  for local links  window location    my relative link html    You can try it by typing it into your address bar as well  e g  javascript  window location    http   www google com     Also note that the protocol part of the URL  http     is not optional for absolute links  omitting it will make javascript assume a relative link

Don t abuse form elements where  lt a gt  elements will suffice    lt style gt         or put this in your stylesheet          button           display  inline-block          padding  3px 5px          border  1px solid  000          background   eee          lt  style gt    lt  -- instead of abusing a button or input element -- gt   lt a href  url  class  button  gt text lt  a gt
